These are Llamas (I’m pretty sure that’s what they are)
I found the photo on Charles D’s Photography blog – He’s made some nice llama pictures in the zoo!
These were quick sketches. The proportions are off – i did the big one first. Started with the ears and realized that the rest of the head was too big to fit on the page. What to do? I think I ended up squeezing the thing a bit. The second largest one was a bonus that I did even quicker. I liked the result although it wasn’t too true to the reference, and then I tried to do two more.. even smaller, with even less effort put in.. And i found the limits of how little effort you can put in and having it look like something. I’m really really getting into sketching with that ballpoint pen..
Wow, they´re great. This ballpoint pen thing seems to be your style! You´re getting better and better!
I’m glad you think so!
These sketches are great. Definitely keep going with the ballpoint pen thing. You seem to be strong in that medium. I shouldn’t worry overly about llama proportions as they are oddly proportioned anyway. Maybe you should draw a pretty animal next.
Maybe 😉 I’ll start my search for unicorn reference photos
My 7 year old would be over the moon as he’s obsessed with unicorns.
Haha.. Cute.. Sorry about the fly then !
