Description

Because this is a topic I’ve been looking at recently, and I thought it would be fun to draw a guide about typical antlers, typical atypical ones, and really weird atypical ones. It’s not a topic worth writing a full-on tutorial about, but it’s just a neat thing to share.

Also, I have a new sketchbook, so I finally have space to draw such guides

:la:

Some notes:

– The example images (apart from some few of the tiny heads) are of adult buck in their prime.

– When it comes to the weird ones, I have looked mostly at record-breaking antlers (especially when it comes to the named ones). They are huge. By far not all atypical antlers get this large or this odd.

– Even atypical antlers tend to follow that same typical shape.

– Other deer can have atypical antlers too, but they rarely get the really weird ones in the way mule deer and whitetail deer apparently can. Broken antlers, bent antlers, uneven antlers – they all have that, but they rarely get excessive tines that way. (It seems those tines are caused primarily by genetics anyway, which explains this.)

– Obviously, this isn’t an extensive list, but it should be a good starting guide.

Ink on paper, 17cm*22,5cm. Reference photos used, but none are copied directly.

And if you have any questions, anything to add to this guide/ideas how it can be improved, or any suggestions on what I should write about next – do send me a message! Heart
(If this was interesting, I can recommend Tips (and a lot of rambling) about drawing deer.)

List of all my tutorialsThe complete list of all the tutorials I have written/made – at least the ones still worth sharing, as some are really old at this point. It just got so hard to find them after a while, and there are so many – so here we are. A complete masterlist.The tutorials are not in chronological order, but rather in (a more) logical order Some of them are rather old, so the formatting may be off – or the quality lower. I’ve still included the decent ones, though, and they may serve as an example that writing tutorials also is a skill you improve in as time goes on and you do it more. ,Rambles about being an artist, and typical Artist Problems:Unfair comparisons and being your own worst critic A word or two about practice and practicing art Some about talent, skill and marketingSome about finding your own drawing style Artists and social media The “right” way to improve We all start out as beginners Quick list of tips on how to improve your art Tutorials about drawing (parts of) animals:The (I hope) complete guide to drawing animal eyes How to draw animal ears Tips about how to draw animal paws/feet/hooves How to draw realistic (feathery) wings Tips for drawing the heads of common carnivores Tips (and a lot of rambling) about drawing deerHow to draw birds How to draw animal noses The (I hope) ultimate guide to drawing fur How to draw feathers/feather texture How to draw scales Quick guide on basic animal anatomy (older, not that good)Basic animal anatomy and how animals move (older, alright enough)Tutorials about traditional art: Tips about drawing on black paper Tips about drawing accurate traditional sketches Basics about colored pencils – layers and blending How to draw white whiskers with colored pencils Some basics about graphite and colored pencils (OLD!)An introduction to scratchboard (older)GIFs:Lynx process – step by step GIF Lynx eye process – step by step GIF Cat eye on black paper – step by step GIF How I draw fur 1 – closeup of tiger stripes – GIF How I draw fur 2 – solid-colored fur closeup – GIF How I draw fur 3 – long fur closeup GIF How I draw fur 4 – fur at a distance GIF Tutorials about using reference photos, editing those, and compositions:Finding and sorting reference photos Reference photos and how to use them: part 1 Reference photos and how to use them: part 2 Reference photos and how to use them: part 3 Some about improving bad quality reference photosThe (reference) photo always lies a little Making your subject fit into the backgroundTips to improve your compositions Some about compositions with multiple subjects Other art-related things which don’t fit anywhere else:A tutorial about writing tutorials Some basics about drawing mountains Beginner’s Guide to Animal Photography Short guide on values and hues How to draw blurred and bokeh backgrounds How to draw realistic art Some about comments and critique The process behind Lynx Portrait IV Red Fox – Fire and Frost WIP Red Fox – Fire and Frost WIP 2 Different art questions, and my answers – part 1 (older)Different art questions, and my answers – part 2 (older)Different art questions, and my answers – part 3 (older)Art critique collections:Art critique collection I Art critique collection II Art critique collection III Art critique collection IV My “critiqued” favorites collection…
