Housing Market

Trying something new here. I've seen it a lot more lately where artist have gotten rid of the black lines and have replaced them with a darker color that matches the color of the item. I thought I'd give it a whirl. It took a while but I think I've learned a few things for next time.

FYI, I drew these gags several months ago and have been sitting on them. Now that it's summer time I've been coloring them and posting them here. They are all animal based as that was the theme I was working on at the time. So expect a lot more of these during the summer.

B: Beaver


Beaver Fun Facts:

- Water downstream of North American beaver dams is cleaner.

- Beavers mate for life.

- A beaver can remain submerged in the water for up to 15 minutes.

- The beaver waterproofs its thick fur by coating it with castoreum, an oily secretion from its scent glands.

- Beavers can close both their ears and nose.

- Beavers were hunted to extinction in England in the 12th century.


On a side note, When starting a new sketchbook either make sure it fits your scanner or draw smaller to fit your scanner.
