Artist's notes:

bull moose thumb The Bull Moose drawing was a real bear (so to speak.) I didn't think the tinting would take more than a few hours to complete, but then I realized the moose's fur isn't just brown - it's a brown that darkens to black, and a black that is SO dark it's blue (if that makes any sense.) So I spent about 5 hours grappling with the moose's coat and just how it should be rendered. All things said I'm pretty satisfied with the results.
