Rhinoceros

Posted on May 20, 2011 by spilledinkguy

Here’s a drawing of a Rhino… he hopes everyone has a great weekend. I do too. More stuff on Monday!

Stuart MacKenzie: “HEAD! PAPER! NOW! Move that melon of yours and get the paper if you can, haulin’ that gargantuan cranium about.”

Tony Giardino: “SSShhhhh…”

Stuart MacKenzie: “I’m not kiddin’, that boy’s head’s like Sputnik… spherical but quite pointy in parts…”

  Thanks so much, Bearman – your a very kind dude!
  This one took me about 10-20 hours. I honestly don’t remember… I completely loose track of time when I’m working on something like this.

Lovin’ that ear shadow.

  Thanks so much, U.M. – I was fairly happy with how that part turned out.
  Ear Shadow might be a good band name, too.
  ROCK ON!

  And it was created (in part) with a Q-tip. Is that… something? Anything? Eh.

    Probably because you were watching too much wrestling. 🙂

  Thank you Binky – I appreciate that very much.
  Basically a matter of spending insane amounts of time building up tones. 🙂

    It’s not really a matter of my being kind; I say what I mean and I mean what I say. But as it happens, I do feel kindly towards you because you’re such an endearing fellow.

I went ahead and messed up your picture by smearing mustard all over my computer screen. Ha! Take that!

  Just mustard?
  I would have guessed you like ketchup on your rhino.

  I know you could, too, B.D.
  It just takes some practice.
  And being crazy enough to spend that time practicing.

Amazing! My son, Christopher, is an artist also, a 2-D animator to be exact, and I know the effort and time that a drawing like this takes…
You are FANTASTIC, and have a very interesting blog! Nice to meet you!

  It does take me a lot of time to do this stuff… sometimes I get the feeling I should get out more!
  Thank you so much for visiting, Juana! It is very nice to meet you as well! 🙂
