I started on the Pterosaur sketch last night. I stayed up a bit longer then i should have last night (this morning....3am), because i am sick. But when the artistic Chee has been reached you need to let it flow. Plus i can't really shut off my brain when i get that way.
I decided to up the game and go bigger. This is 18"x24". I plan on drawing two or three of these guys on this sheet, so don't think this is anywhere near completion.
I started by lightly sketching the skull that i had found on Google. Then i added muscles, skin and textures. Im not sure about some of it, and it may change a bit. I find it extremely liberating to be able to sketch something that is open to interpretation. I also went to the Field Museum in Chicago for inspiration last weekend, but their Pterosaur collection isn't the greatest. But it was fun anyway.
It's quite creepy. Which is more of my style. And it looks a bit weird for now. So now i need to work on balancing it out.
