More sketches of the timtik, the goatlike riding animal from Tatsinda, one of my favorite childhood books. It's always a fun challenge trying to draw a six-legged creature, if not biologically convincingly, at least gracefully.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was Tatsinda, an original fairy tale by Elizabeth Enright and illustrated by Irene Haas. Along with the story being charming and sweet and funny, and packing in a bit of good drama, Haas' illustrations are utterly beautiful and were an influence on me as a tiny little artist.
The story is set in a fantastical hidden land full of strange creatures, and far and away my favorite was the six-legged goatlike timtik.
...the appealing timtik, a graceful animal with six delicate legs, hoofs and horns made of a substance resembling mother-of-pearl, a pointed nose like a fox terrier's, and large fan-shaped ears, finely fringed along the edges. It had a musical birdlike call, very pleasing to the ear, and was easily domesticated. Though small, it was extremely strong, and every Tatran child had a timtik to ride to school on.
It's just a neat little creature, almost sounding plausible but then with these fantasyish traits. One's even included on the original cover.
Anyway, this was a formative book for me, and every so often I draw some timtiks.
