For #PencilDay, I sketched this caiman peeking out of the water! 🐊 Used my Pentel Graphgear 1000 pencils, mostly a .5mm with 4B lead. Getting the reflection right was a fun challenge! Fun fact: Caimans can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes before surfacing! #sciart #artyear

A realistic graphite drawing of a caiman partially submerged in water, with a detailed reflection on the surface. The sketch is in an A6 Leuchtturm sketchbook, held open by a red clip. Below are three Pentel Graphgear 1000 mechanical pencils, a kneaded eraser, and a blending stump on a wooden surface.
