References for your Drawings (a lot of photos for you !)

Eledhwen22's picture
Well, I decided to put here some photographs I took of deers. I'll use these photos for drawing references, and I thought it could help some of you too Smiling.

So, here you'll see mainly photos of Red deers, but also some of Fallow deers and 2 of a Marsh deer. I'll updated this blog when I'll have new photographs Eye. So don't hesitate to track this ! If you want a photo in a larger size, don't hesitate to ask too, and I'll send it to you by mail Eye.

Thank you to not post these ones elsewhere and don't claim them as your own, only use them for your personal drawings. And if you use, thank you to tell me, I would love to see what you've done with them ! Smiling.

This one that little ram is

This one that little ram is so cute, do you know what species he is?
Eledhwen22's picture

Yes, it's a "Mouflon Corse",

Yes, it's a "Mouflon Corse", so a "Mouflon from Corsica" if I must translate word by word. It's an Ovis orientalis musimon, to be more precise. On these photos, he's sheard ... but wild ones can have this beautiful pelt during winter <3.


As you can see, this male wanted to be the first to be fed ... He wasn't impressed by deers, apparently xD. He is a brave little ram :').



I also noticed that females mouflons prefered stay near deers and not with the ram ... Certainly because they are tall, with beautiful and big antlers, ha ha ! On this photo, the difference of size can remind tall deers and minis on TEF.



Carry, this is for you (snuffle butt' powa ! xD)

The great majority of these

The great majority of these photographs have been taken in "Parc Sainte-Croix" in France. It's situated at 60 km from my home, so I go there sometimes (I love see deers during the rut time, their fights are impressive !).
What's I like too, is that the staff of the park put a board with the name of each deer :').

There are also NOT barbed wire, so deers can come near you (but usually they don't, haha ! And during the rut time, I'm not reassured when they run too close to me ^^').

This park is also famous because you can sleep in several accomodations, near the top of trees or in the middle of wolves for example (you can see them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq2Z0JhLmU4 ).

This is a video of babies born in the park this year <3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=195Dzr2s0iY
