A simple #posca #drawing of a group of #hammerhead #sharks for day 18. Had to make it quick, due to tiredness after a day of surfing, walking and wandering. ⠀ Most #shark species usually swim and hunt solo, but #Hammerheads are known to form groups of up to several hundreds of individuals (much like some dolphin species). They live in temperate and tropical waters and close to reefs and in shallow waters. But they can dive about 80m.⠀ #asharkaday #sharksarefriends #illustration #poscpens #draweveryday #sketchoftheday #sketchbook #tikisdesign #shades #diving #oceanlove #saveourseas #savethesharks #sealife #myreality #simplesketch

This #shark from day 16 of the #asharkaday challenge isn't much of an art piece, but rather a quick #sketch with #shading. Been quite in a hurry that day. But bear with me... Better stuff will #follow. ;)⠀ Speaking of following: In order to get vital information about sharks' behaviour, lifestyle and habits, researches nowadays have a variety of technologies on their hands to collect data about these animals without disturbing their lives too much. There are different types of tracking devices, that individuals get tagged with. Sharks don't have very pain-sensitive fins, so the sting of the small hooks that hold the devices doesn't hurt them. There are devices that keep transmitting updates and data about the fish's position via satellite to the researchers. Other types are programmed to pop off the shark after a specific time and can be tracked and collected afterwards to analyse the data.⠀ #sharksarefriends #protectheoceans #saveoursharks #diving #sand #blackandwhite #bw #penandink #illustration #sketchoftheday #draweveryday #underwater #reefshark #watercolour #tikisdesign #myreality #swimming #oceanlover #sea #underthesea

Due to travelling this weekend, I have to play some catch-up on my uploads of the #asharkaday challenge. This is day 13's #shark. Kept the #shapes simple and the #shading and #texture easy to make on the go (shaky trains aren't suitable for hatching techniques..;) ).⠀ Did you know that #reefsharks have been specified by the #wwf as one of the most important species on the entire planet!? There are five reef shark species: the Grey #reefshark, the Caribbean reef shark, and the Blacktip, Whitetip and Silvertip reef shark.⠀ With about 1,6m to 3m body length, they're not the largest of their kind, but are the apex #predators in every reef. Their role on top of the food chain of those delicate eco systems is of mostly unnoticed importance. So humans' fear of sharks and more and more diving tourism endangers the already fragile reefs. also by chasing away or scaring off the sharks. Because they are often rather timid animals and attacks on humans are very rare.⠀ #planetearth #wildlifeart #underwater #diving #sharkdrawing #illustration #drawing #draweveryday #illustrator #reef #sharks #coralreef #corals #fish #sand #penandink #blackandwhite #bw #sketchbook #sketchoftheday #tikisdesign #myreality #justkeepswimming #illustratorsoninstagram
