“Before the Storm”. Coloured pencil and oil pastel on watercolour paper. While I didn’t want to pet this hyena, or get any closer, he did intrigue me, and the artist in me was captivated by the textures of fur and muzzle. #SciArt

The female on the right has a mostly brown and white tipped feather pattern with some blue tones at the edge of the wing and her tail. Both have red patches surrounding their eyes.

The watercolor drawing depicts a Hyena yawning with its mouth open and tongue  hanging out. The artists used watercolor and ink to draw this and used light and dark  browns, and oranges for the fur. The areas of the eyes, snout and ear were colored with a dark blue grey and the inside of the mouth and tongue are pink. The teeth also include some yellow to depict plaque on the teeth. The artists added their signature and date made on the most bottom right side of the painting.
