I need reference. Reference ads authority and weight to a drawing. I was fascinated by some greyhound pics I found on the internet-I liked the foreshortening and the crazed look on the hound's face. I was also influenced by striping on the baby alligators-how sinister it made the animal. I found a pic of a snarling wolf-loved the intensity and then the foreshortening of the t-rex. Got really lucky and found a perfect reference for the hawk. I redrew it, and slightly changed the head direction. What does a hatching reptile actually look like? Found the hatching reptiles on the internet. I wanted a flavor of all these pics in the illio.
