Sand Tiger WIP


Here's a work in progress of a Sand Tiger shark (or the Grey Nurse, or Ragged-Tooth shark, as it's called in other countries).  Nothing else out there has gums made of teeth like this guy.  The painting is acrylic on 110lb "canvas paper".  It's very similar in texture and weight to real canvas, slicker, suitable for acrylic or gouache.  The underpainting is watered-down and translucent, so I can see what I'm doing, and then the final layers are thick and opaque.
