I've meant to dust the cobwebs from this old blog for months. What better time to resume posting than the most wonderful week of the year? I am, of course, referring to Shark Week. And this year, as in years before, the talented Kristen Campbell is heading up the Shark Week Sketch Jam! For those of you who want to play along, each day we will be drawing (or painting, sculpting, sewing, etc.) a specific shark species. Take a look at the sketch jam
blog and
deviantart pages to see what everyone else is coming up with, and feel free to join in on the fun!
Sunday's shark of the day was the Oceanic Whitetip. I sat down with some scrap paper, my Pentel Pocketbrush, and some markers and, in spite of how rusty I felt, did a few sketches of the whitetips (and their pilot fish companions):
This page was fun to draw. Added the color here digitally:
I don't think the colors scanned very nicely, but ah well...here are a couple I colored with markers:
So it begins. Happy Shark Week, everybody!
Edit: Day 2 is the
Bramble Shark :)

I really like the inkwork on these. They have a Chris Sanders quality.
Creating a shark drawing is an exhilarating artistic endeavor that allows one to capture the essence of these majestic marine creatures on paper or canvas. The process involves carefully delineating the distinctive features of a shark, from its sleek, streamlined body to its powerful fins and razor-sharp teeth. Artists often employ various techniques to convey the dynamic nature of sharks, using bold strokes to illustrate movement and shadow to add depth.
