Caiman crocodilus

February 6, 2013

Today we got to pick a fossil or bone to render. I chose part of a skull of a Spectacled Caiman, Caiman crocodilus. Below is a photo of a live Spectacled Caiman.

Here is the skull I selected looking from above:

The skull is incomplete, only showing where the eyes sat and part of the jaw. However, this was an interesting piece to practice with since it has so many shadows and textures. My rendering below:


Overall I was very pleased on how my skull turned out. However I need to practice more on texture which is what challenges me most.
