Description Today is Thylacine Day. On September 7, 1936, Benjamin- the last known thylacine- died in captivity(they left him out overnight and he died from exposure to the cold).
This is just one of many drawings that I have done over the last few months, in memory of these incredible creatures. I think colored pencil is one of the more difficult mediums for me, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.


EDIT: Eh. It's been over a year now and I'm still very stuck. The main things bugging me are the obvious lack of a body and that darn muzzle....(Actually, the anatomy of the face as a whole is wrong. Ugh, I want to get rid of it now. ) Tips, anyone?

I read that Benjamin was probably female... And I love this poor creature. Thanks.

You're welcome! And I don't think we'll ever really be certain of the gender.
I always prefer calling an animal either 'him' or 'her' rather than 'it', even if it's not accurate.

I prefer calling 'em in same way.
Btw, thylacines have sexual dimorphism and the males are larger and more robust than females. But it doesn't work with young tassies...

Yeah, I love Benjamin. It's a shame he had to die in a cage, though.
