Tomorrow's (08/04/2012) subject was going to be the saber-toothed wolf from the 'DinoBabies' cartoon. So, I started a practice sketch ...and this is it (in a simple, but original pose for the character, too)! I liked this enough to keep it---I'm (likely) not going to draw the animal again. :3
So who is the saber-tooth wolf?
Just a side monster that, so far as I know, appeared only twice (for a few seconds, in both respective instances) in the series.
*the wolf appears at around 3:45 on the video's timestamp.
I guess my wolf is only a baby (had to draw him small in order to fit him on the card) but he's surely very mean ...or perhaps only seems that way (we may never know, for in the time it took to read this far, he has slunk away).
I drew this wolf entirely freeform---only once (and after effectively everything had been drawn) did my circle template touch the paper (for his brisket; I needed that curve to be as round as I could get it).
I used my Wallace Zephyr pencil to draw this beast, and delineated him via an 'Evergreen' pencil from US Pencil Co (I told y'all I'd use that one again).
The featured pencil is the handsome 'Tamarak' pencil from Empire. This particular one is WWII-era (paper ferrule) and unsharpened ...which is why I didn't use it here. ^^
What's a tamarak?
...a North American larch (a coniferous tree).
How fitting that I delineated this drawing with an 'Evergreen' pencil. lol
Anyway, I wonder if the name implies this 'Tamarak' pencil is made of tamarak? It's possible---most pencils of this era were made of cedar, which is also a coniferous tree. :3
They're actually very nice, the problem is that their dual face-knives are made for pitting olives, opening difficult cans and jars and popping bubble wrap... but none of those things have been invented yet. It makes a canine scowl.
