I Think It's A Dik-dik, Or Some Other Small Antelope-like Creature That Looks Like One.  I Had Access

I think it's a dik-dik, or some other small antelope-like creature that looks like one.  I had access to a number of old animal mounts from Bass Pro a while back via one of my teachers, they were unlabeled and I didn't take notes so I have no idea on a couple of the more obscure ones I drew. here I was playing with inks and markers.  white inks are hard to come by that aren't horrible.  I had some Speedball white ink a while back that was as opaque as correction fluid, but the container was damaged and it dried up.  Here I think I used Dr. Ph. Martin's.  I never had luck with the Higgins white, but my sample was really old.  but anyways, Higgins Brown in is an absolute blast.  there's a warm and a cool pigment inside and they tend to settle out and/or soak into paper at different rates, and you can achieve different hue and lightness when you manipulate it by pulling some of it up with a paper towel or when you wet it.

Amazon.com Universal Wishlist for Brett Leeper.

Some of my planned tool and gear acquisitions, if anybody’s in the mood to throw Christmas gifts or whatever around.  And yes I did put socks on my Christmas list.  I can send contributors a christmas card, how’s about that?
