Description Request drawing for . If you get a chance, go and annoy her on behalf of me.

The whale's in watercolor and the water's in chalk. The bottom looks a wee bit darker than it really is because of the lighting. And oh! look! bubbles!

EDIT: That's not sky, that's kinda poorly drawn water in place of the sky. Ya know how when you're under water and you look up all you see is water? That's what I tried to draw.

If you want a request, ask! Same thing as with sketches.

I have no idea how you do this..

whales and fish (in my opinion ha) are probably some of the hardest creatures to draw, and yet you've mastered it all!

Bubbles!!!! I like bubbles *pauses* anyways, I would have put the shape of the boat over the whale, just so you got a sense of how big the whale was also it would make the whale be more, Moby Dickish. I mean I haven't read the book in forever, but from what I remember the whale was like huge

Hahah, I read it all the way through...Now I'm on my third Melville book.

I feel this urge to draw whales myself, they're very cool animals.

I really should, but I'm too wrapped up in Leo Tolstoy right now.

You should! I love whales!

It is very pretty. I don't think I've ever seen a real whate up close so is the place where the tail bends supposed to be squarish? Otherwise, GREAT JOB!!!! (I couldn't draw anything half as good so don't be offended by my critique)

GreyCorbie In reply to anaravenwood [2008-04-06 18:52:47 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yay, crit! I wish more people would write crit...

It's kind of square because of the muscle structure on sperm whales. They have very blocky, strong tails. Also, they have a ridge from the dorsal to the tail, which makes it look squarish too.
