Just finished a sketch of an American alligator! 🐊 Used my Pentel Orenz Nero with .5 mm 4B lead. Those scales were a challenge, but I love how it turned out. Fun fact: alligators have existed for over 150 million years! #sciart

A detailed graphite sketch of an American alligator's head, showcasing intricate textures of the skin and scales. Two Pentel Orenz Nero pencils (.3 and .5 mm) are placed above the drawing. The shading softens along the neck, blending into the paper.
