This sketch came outta nowhere. I was working on some character designs for junior studio this weekend and started letting my mind wander, as usual... Grabbed a pen and roughed out the pose for this. For some reason I dared myself to keep going so I ended up redrawing the scribble about four more times before I came up with this.

Zeta's a character I've had for a few years now, but I haven't been able to draw him until recently. I know it's not perfect, but I learned that you have to keep practicing until you get it right. I learned that through my junior studio work, too.

 

Sketched with a .05 mechanical pencil on animation paper. The whole redrawing process took about 2 hours, and this final sketch took about half an hour by itself.

Well, back to work!

Nothing is ever going to be perfect as long as you are interested in growing as an artist. I have been at this art thing for over 40 years and have yet to think of anything I’ve done as perfect ;-) This is an excellent drawing of an excellent looking beast. Good angle, good action and good clean lines. Well done Jennifer! A piece to be proud of 1

I think I’m learning that I’m not going to get things right on the first try, which is probably why I get so easily discouraged with drawing sometimes. "

great sketch, and one scary bad tempered lizard! reminds me of an iguana we had once, only thing he wanted to do was bite and thrash with his tail.
