Centaur part II

So hopefully you’ve already seen my  centaur skeleton. If not you can take a look at it here. But this is the second half of that assignment of drawing mythical creatures. For this half, we had to put our creature in his or her natural environment.

I decided to depict my centaur from behind to make it feel more like an undisturbed nature scene. The centaur is not interacting with the viewer, he is going about his hunting totally unaware of our presence.

This drawing was done with colored pencil on colored paper. This is the first time in a long while that I have done a fully rendered piece in colored pencil, and it took a while for me to get my bearings. Overall I am pleasantly surprised with how this piece came out.
