it's time for the annual rhinoceros study. some 15min on Paint Tool SAI. this time I focused more on the head.

digital painting of a white rhino in grayscale. the background is white and the rhino is facing to the right. body and limbs are simply blocked in broad strokes, while the image focuses on the head with finer details.

the same drawing from the previous image, but this one shows the whole animal.

since the #Odissey is (again) all the rage, may I interest you in a literary optical composition of no particular relation to it? you can see a 3D-diorama version of it back at my old #Tumblr blog maperns.tumblr.com/post/7528465... part of a series inspired by the Opt Art of Vasarely (1906–1997)

a square composition containing: a dark grey background; on the upper rirght, a looming triangle with one single semicircle close to irs top; on the lower 2/3s of the composition, 28 white circular shapes – some of them have pointy bits sticking from their underside, one in particular, just in front of the triangle, bear a bright red pointy bit.

Trying my hand at knapping. Made some nice tiny blades today.

Seven small pieces of knaped flint blades. Brownish grey in colour, with jagged edges, sitting on a wood bench

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

Study over a really old pencil sketch, maybe from 2008, of character and anatomy exploration for a project that never happened. Painted in Paint Tool Sai 2, took me around 1h30 (including fooling around to remember how Sai works). #digitalart #painttoolsai #goldentiger

Digital painting of an anthopomorphic Golden Tiger, with anatomy closer to a feline than a human.

Lineup of various filine and bird inspired characters, pencil on paper.

"Toda revolução paralisa a capacidade imaginativa dos que a sofrem. A aristocracia francesa não imaginava as conseqüências de revolução, nem os judeus as conseqüências do nazismo. Mas na situação atual somos todos vítimas da revolução, não há quem 'sofra' nem quem 'a faça'." FLUSSER (c. 1985). 2018.

Uma ou duas vezes por ano eu faço uma aula que envolve desenhar rinocerontes. É um exercício de criatividade e uso de referências. Esses foram os de hoje. Feito no @krita.org

Rascunho simulando lápis de um rinoceronte-branco, visto de lado. foto de referência do mesmo rinoceronte. estudo em pintura digital preto e branca da cabeça do mesmo rinoceronte.
