The Last Armada: Part 3'Do you have any idea of what you have just done?' asked Gaz, still staring with murderous eyes at the Doctor as her chair slowed to a halt.

'No idea.' He said light-heartedly, his eyes scanning the computer screen, searching for any sign of technology that could help him.

'You have just cost me the ability to walk into public, now Timmy will think I've bailed out and I'll be the laughing stock of the entire school.'

'Oh it's only a game.' Said the Doctor, 'Get out into the real world and then you have something to brag about.'

'What?'

'Put down the video games, that's the thing with this time line, everything is digital. You people woul

The Last Armada: Part 2So Dib lead this strange Doctor to a local fast food place, the Crazy Taco seemed to be the only one that caught his interest. They ordered and sat down, the Doctor eating a taco with a smile on his face. Dib stared at him, this man seemed strange but he was not crazy. Imagine, someone who believed him that was not insane. He chuckled and leant back in his chair, this Doctor was probably after a free meal and nothing more. He was probably a bum. But to his surprise the Doctor leant forward and wiped his mouth,

'So, tell me about this Alien.'

Dib went off on a rant, the customers of the Taco store looking at him with a strange stare. He told

Elk Tutorialby ~LeeDassin

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Traditional Art / Drawing / Animal Anatomy

Here is the Elk Tutorial requested by Scylothia [link] (I don’t know how to link a picture), before anything is asked I just want to add some points.

1. These are not the definite facts on antler growth, there will always be some exceptions. Some elk have upwards cups (But ONLY red deer have the 3 prong cup), some red deer may have open cups. These steps are based on my own observations while I have been studying and drawing deer and elk.

2. I understand this is only part of a tutorial, I do not do into body, partly because I have never done a tutorial before and secondly because I have spent so long in learning antlers I find them the hardest obstacle for starting to draw deer.

3. Finally, I apologise for the hunting photo below, I do not endorse hunting for sport in any way I just think this picture is a good for showing the curves in the tines of Elk. I do not wish to cause a debate over the topic of game hunting.

With that out of the way, enjoy

I hope it helps you in your drawing!

_{That hunting picture.. OH MY GOD THEIR ANTLERS ARE BIGGER THAN A MAN!!
Wow.. thanks for showing that, I would of never known!}

~LeeDassin Dec 8, 2011

LOL they certainly can be quite impressive, I have never seen an Elk up close before but I know people who have and their back height is about 5ft is not higher. I am not sure as to the height of this man, but I am certain Elk antlers can be pretty spectacular

very useful.I didn't know these facts

*Charanty Jan 9, 2011

Yes! Hurray!

This is just the thing I'v been looking for! I'm anal about animal anatomy being correct, and elk horns have been a total mystery to me

Now I have something to refer to! EPIC. <3

~galaxydragon22 Oct 24, 2010 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

wow this is amazing the detail is awesome!!!!

Will you be making a second tutorial to partner this one? I find this very, very helpful as one of my characters is very elk-like. Thank you very much for sharing your observations! I am sure many others also appreciate this!

~LeeDassin Aug 7, 2010

Thank you for your wonderful comments ^^

I have been thinking about making a tutorial about elk colouring (but this one sorta shows the colours) Other than that I was thinking about drawing a turotial of deer antlers, how to classify different species and not mix them up

=raxgond Aug 8, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Oh, now that antler tutorial sounds neat-o; I bet that'd be extremely helpful, haha!

I'd also be interested in elk colorations. Are there more than two?

~LeeDassin Nov 12, 2010

Well the two here are to show the distinction between red deer and elk (two different species) The most common colouration in elk is the cream with dark legs and mane with a white rump, the shade of the body will vary from brown to grey but there is always a darker mane and white rump

Oh and they have a white/lighter coloured bottom lip
