Description
A few mini bookmarks I made using these little brown cardboard thingies that come in the tea box we buy. I've always wanted to try something like this with them, so finally I sat down and did these. c:I'm not sure if they can actually be called cardboard or not, I really don't know what material they are, but they're fairly thick for their size. They're about 11/4x5 inches, so it's hard to get much detail in them, but they're perfect for things like this. I thought they'd be ideal for bookmarks as well for being pretty durable.
So here's the first three, since I'll surely be making more when I get them.
Obviously, from the left to right is a tiger with flames, a horse, and a cheetah with lightning.
Ahh the tiger one got a little of the left side cut off, that's why it looks smaller than the others. D:
Prismacolor pencils/ used my own photo refs except for the horse

Amazing work on getting all the attention on the (amazingly drawn) eyes. Wouldn't mind having that as a bookmark!

I'm usually that way too, I'll have things cut, ready to make bookmarks, but have no ideas, and then by the time I want to do something with them, they're too messed up to use D:
I did the tiger eye because my desktop is a pic of a tiger I took, and then I had another pic of a cheetah, so I drew a cheetah one, and then a horse because of the long face.
I'm not sure what to use for future ones now haha. I might take little commissions of them of character eyes similar to this, or add a free bookmarks with a traditional commission or something. First I'll have to collect more of these so I'll actually have them to draw on when I need them though xD
