HCR #25: THE OCEANS - Sperm Whale

[HrIsHi]

A quick sketch in PS, of what im goin for. What came 2 mind, was an illustration from "Moby dick" by Herman Melville that i'd read as a kid, and had stuck in my head.(a pair of HUGE F'in jaws comin outta the ocean at ur boat is scary for a kid aint it?..well at least it was when I was a kid!:-P ) Neway so i thought it wud be kinda cool for d challenge..lets hope i finish!
