Description The written word is obsolete and taught us not to try to speak with our mind.

I finally got the chance to take a photo of this, and the camera destroyed the details. I had to use some stuff in photoshop to save the clarity, but hey, it looks like its original colors, so I guess it worked. :/

This was an art project for school last year. We were supposed to draw an animal that represents us/an animal that we love in pastels. I couldn't choose between the Common Raven (corvus corax) or the Jackson's Chameleon (chamaeleo jacksonii), so I did both.

Time estimate: Somewhere between seven and ten hours spread out over a week or two.

Materials: Pastels and pastel pencils

Reference used: Looked at the cover of my science teacher's animals book for some of the Jackson's Chameleon's scale patterns. Other than that, no references were used.

...OwO!

Awesomeness. 8D

I. Love. The colors. 8D

...and that quote up there made me nod and smile a little... (in agreement.)

The raven and the chameleon both look really great - I love the textures too; both the feathers and scales turned out really well. ^^

8D!

Thankyou~

Eee, yay! The raven's colors suffered the most from the camera, though. Mweep.

I'm glad. ^^

Yay! That was one of the most awesome and yet most annoying parts. XD

You're welcome! ^w^

Darned cameras.
It still looks really good though. ^^

...my camera depletes stuff of right colors too. It's odd how it works..... sometimes I Wish I could get rid of all the fancy digital-recoloring stuff
(which my camera won't XP) and just have an 'as you see it in real life' mode. :/

Textures tend to be that way. XD
