Description A buffalo drawn on A4.

I started drawing this mid 2011 but stopped. I decided to finish it over the last few weeks, but the paper had become dusty and the drawing had started to fade. I am a bit unhappy with the overall result, but I am glad I decided to finish it.

The shading may appear a bit uneven, but this is how it appeared in the reference image I used: [link]

I've made a tutorial on how to draw Buffalo horns - please check it out on my website: [link]

This is breathtaking, The detail is amazing and the horn shape is perfect. Truly looks like a duggarbull and you can see the gentle character in his eyes

Wow, can't believe you're not happy with this. It looks really awesome to me. Love the detail around the eyes and the worn ears.

PencilSessions In reply to taibossigai [2012-07-16 15:26:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I am pretty happy with how I drew the buffalo, but I regret choosing that reference picture because this particular buffalo looks weird (I actually chose it because of the worn ears). Perhaps I've just been looking at it too long.

Yeah, that happens to me too...I also start nitpicking what I could have done better.
