Cryptozoology is the study and study of hypothetical creatures- animals that might not exist (and sadly, probably don't.) It also includes animals that are now extinct, like the Dodo.

I drew this completely on a whim. I wanted to do something a little different and I ended up looking up cryptozoology and the weird and wonderful animals that come with it.

I based how they appear on descriptions and images found on the internet. Some of them have more than one standard appearance, so I melded them together where this was the case. Please respect that these aren't the "definite" appearances, merely my interpretation.

I labelled them all, too, so if you can't tell what they're supposed to be, that might help

I like how the colours came out. I was kind of playing with gradient kind of effects with the paints. I think it looks nice.

My favourites, I think, are the jackalope and the kappa. I just realised that Big Foot actually has quite small feet. Damn

Media- watercolour, fineliner pens and masking fluid. Text added, texture applied and clean up in Photoshop.
I found the texture which I put underneath on Google- here [link] by looking for paper texture.
