thats a great video I have watched it and many others from that channel.

It does a great job of outlining the two most important details in not just creature art but all art in general.

proper positive and negative space distribution.

and proper value distribution.

if you can nail those two things you can draw like a pro.

I want this thread to live! So i'mma just put in my two cents in response to Coag. Negative space is indeed very important, but I also like to put a lot of emphasis on formwork. Proper value requires proper knowledge of perspective and basic formwork. Formwork being able to produce boxes, cylinders and spheres in basically any set up. The better someone can morph, combine, stretch and alter these objects according to their will, the better they will be able to understand and reproduce more complex structures.

I will start from the top left corner then, the multilegged creature with a gun:

Rhynian Scavenger

An indiginous animal to the planet of Rhyne, long used by mankind as one of the dumping ground planets of the Milky Way, it has been mutated by toxic waste from its originally, 2 foot high octopus form to become 10 feet tall and sport a permanent grimace. It shows signs of rudimentary intelligence, being capable of picking up discarded human weapons to use against their main predators on the planet, the Rhynian Tiger.

Certain naturalists say that the creature's mating rituals are very interesting, with the male having to locate a discarded human gun and present it ritually to the female, which may blow him away with it if she is not fond of his grimace. If she is fond, she keeps it, they lock tails and mating begins.
