Heterometrus Spinifer (wip)

Been busy with life and what-not as well as a short mini-vacation with the misses.

Well for some unexplainable reason I thought drawing an arachnida family member more precisely a Heterometrus Spinifer would be fun. The dark shiny sectioned exoskeleton, the trichobothria (fine dermis hairs for detecting vibrations), and the almost mechanically hindged joints are wonderful subjects to try and duplicate.











On the latest image above you can see where I started working the darker graphite into the abdomen and tail. So far I have only used an HB and 6B pencils and very little erasing.

More to come,..
