Last month I read a Moby Dick comic adaptation by Christophe Chabouté and felt inspired to take on the whale myself, in the only familiar way I can. It's a beautifully illustrated book, I couldn't recommend it enough for the drawings alone, I'm a sucker for big blacked in areas.
I did a few study sketches of sperm whales to familiarize myself with the anatomy and went straight to the canvas. I did it in one sitting in a few hours - not 1:1 with my vision I had in mind but I'm pretty happy with how it came out, being pretty new to painting with markers this way and all.
