Currently I work daily on my lines, with colors, shading and much more exercises to improve my art.

So, being on my way to the next level I will post different artwork that won't be "perfect" from my point of view but I like to show you the progress.

Today I painted a hippopotamus with its mouth wide open. I really like these animals and how much power they have. They are often named the most dangerous animal because it always fights with everyone in its territory.

First I sketched different poses of crocodiles and hippos and then added detail to my favorite one. Then I used a nice brushset and painted in Krita as almost always, preparing a palette by watching many photos and started painting.

At the end I know my mistakes with this piece but I am happy enough about it to show here.

Do you see the mistakes? Or do you like just watching art?
And do you also try new things currently?

Created by me. No ai.

Found in a shop in #Solothurn. The #Hippopotamus on this matchbox must be a desert brother species of the #Hippotatomus. 🤣 It looks so sad. No wonder, considering the temperatures there. 😎

I feel the world would be a different place if it had been Pablo Picasso who decided to import himself a bunch of hippopotami.

When most think of dangerous animals in Africa, known for killing people, most will think of lions, crocodiles, and hyenas (oh my!). But the animal that actually kills the most people is the common hippopotamus, as they can be very aggressive about their territory. But leave them be and they are benign, incredible animals. These megafauna inhabit much of Africa and a small part of northern […]
