Heya, I'm back with a hammerhead shark sketch for day 32 of posting everyday challenge. Fun fact : Shark Week 2023 is scheduled for July 23 through July 30 so I'll draw more sharks in the future. Thank you for the support !
If you wish to recreate I suggest:
• using a thin paper that isn't high quality if you're a beginner
• art is about practice and making mistakes so don't be afraid of throwing out a few papers
• using a pencil that's on the harder side like most commonly used HB and using softer ones for details like B2
• references help understand how an object (in this case animal) presents itself, maintains balance etc.
• An ancient animal, it has changed little in 100 million years due to being an excellent predator.
• The skin typically is dull gray and tough and has toothlike scales. Most sharks have a muscular, asymmetrical, upturned tail; pointed fins; a pointed snout; and sharp triangular teeth.
• Sharks have no swim bladder and must swim perpetually to keep from sinking. Most species bear living young.
• Several species can be dangerous to humans (e.g., great white shark, hammerhead shark, sand shark, tiger shark); smaller ones, called topes, hounds, and dogfishes, are fished commercially.
