Chinchilla a Day Personal Art Challenge
« on: February 24, 2015, 09:31:03 PM »
To help hone my art skills for upcoming website graphic designs, and the fact that my pencil drawing skills became quite rusty after specializing in digital art, I've challenged myself to draw one chinchilla a day for 30 days if I can do it consistently, at least, 30 chinchillas, from different places on the internet (mostly on facebook). Right now I'm closely imitating reference photos but I intend to embellish more as I go.

Here are the first two. They are pretty abstract.

With 3 and 4 I noticed a jump in realism. I also spent a little more time on them.

I'll start crediting the sources of the photos here on in:
Reference photo from Chinchilla Village facebook page and Ohio KPC Chinchillas. "Mazarine" (respectively)

5 and 6 are the best although I feel I struggle more with the proportions. This time there is more focus on realistic textures. With 6 I really tried to focus on the dimensions around the eyes, an area I found the other drawings to be lacking in.
