Charcoal Stegosaurus Branch

“Charcoal Stegosaurus Branch” [1st February 2022] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, sketch with black ink, H, HB, 4B and 8B pencils, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digital image 3360 x 2865 pixels.

On 18th January 2022 I took a few different photographs of the branch you see, above, in my sketch entitled “Charcoal Stegosaurus Branch”.

This branch originally featured in another sketch called From the Fused Horse Chestnut Tree. You can click the link to view that earlier sketch.

Immediately my imagination thought of the stegosaurus depictions we have all seen in popular media.

Here is the photograph inspiration for my “Charcoal Stegosaurus Branch” sketch:

“Charcoal Stegosaurus Branch – photograph” [18th January 2022] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist.

I included black ink work for outlines on the branch. A few of the sticks include black ink work too. The sketch composition is designed to be fun, impressionistic and texturally contrasting. This is achieved through layers, H through to 8B pencil work.

Please enjoy.
