Sea Serpent - Stamping with Charcoal

Sea Serpent, 2015, Charcoal

The main textures of this image were created by stamping different shapes of craft foam. Craft foam is porous enough that it can hold charcoal almost like ink. I made the scales on the body by stamping two teardrop shaped pieces of foam, the tongue is the tip of a triangle, and the webbing blended with various sized strips. It's basically stippling, only much faster. And messy.
