Rhino side profile sketch
It's day 26 of posting everyday, I wanted to sketch to calm my nerves so here's a rhino study inspired by Psydeluxe again. I was wondering about participating in art fight, but I think digital art would be a better fit for it. Thanks for the support.
If you wish to recreate I suggest:
• using a thin paper that isn't high quality if you're a beginner
• art is about practice and making mistakes so don't be afraid of throwing out a few papers
• using a pencil that's on the harder side like most commonly used HB and using softer ones for details like B2
• references help understand how an object (in this case animal) presents itself, maintains balance etc.
• the rhinoceros gets its name from one of its most notable features: its horns. The word rhinoceros come from the Greek words rhino meaning “nose” and ceros meaning “horn.” The number of horns that a rhino has varies on the species.
• rhinos’ appearances vary depending on the species. The Sumatran rhinos are the smallest of the living rhinos. They are covered with long hair and are more closely related to the extinct woolly rhinos than any of the other rhino species alive today.
• the greater one-horned rhino is identified by a single black horn, which is about 8 to 25 inches long. They have a grey-brown hide with skin folds, which gives them an armor-plated appearance. The Javan rhino is very similar in appearance to the closely-related one-horned rhino, but the Javan rhino has a much smaller head and less apparent skin folds.
