The fourth Inktober 52 prompt is "Frog". Now that one kinda worried me. I have very little practice drawing frogs. In fact, I think the only one I've ever done before was hidden in my Mother Nature drawing. I didn't exactly want to spend several days practicing the art of frog portraiture, so I had to think of a somewhat clever way to draw the prompt without...frogginess. Thus, the Ribbit Exhibit. There are frogs, but they are tiny...barely there. Rather, the whole drawing is about frogs. Or at least we can assume as much. I mean, these are special frogs...they have their own exhibit. Maybe they are real frogs at a special room in the zoo, or maybe they are sculptures of frogs in glass cases at an art show. Only they know for sure. What was fun to draw about this piece: ' 1. The branches in the tanks. That was fun. Especially coloring over them to make them ''behind the glass". 2. Okay the tanks themselves were kind of fun to draw too. 3. The little frogs. 4. Turning my signature mark into a stray frog stuck to the base of the display tank. Actually I just had a lot of fun with this whole page. I was enjoying it so much I forgot to take in progress photos. But here is a close up detail of the frogs and their very scientific signage. Materials Used:
