Description

I was inspired by Sea Otter Awareness Week and figured I should expand my artistic abilities by drawing another species!

Interested in a commission? :woohoo: Read this journal for more information:[link]

I referenced a picture I took at the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

approximately 30 hrs.
PS CS3 & Wacom Tablet

Sea Otter Awareness Week was September 27-October 3 2010
Some fun facts about sea otters:
-Sea otters consume 25-30% of their body weight each day
-Sea otters have 1 million strands of hair per square inch of fur
-Sea otters constantly blow air into their fur to keep them waterproof and warm
-Sea otters are the largest members of the weasel family

That's some thick fur! O.o

I really love the colours in this picture. Sea otters always seem kind of cheeky to me and this guy with his clam definitely has this feeling. :D Great work! :heart:
