The American Toad is one of my earliest drawings when I was transitioning from architecture to animals and nature. Something about the texture of the skins of amphibians really translates well into an stipple drawing. The inked version was completed while I was living in Germany in 1998. The digital tinting was added in 2007.
The American Toad is a common amphibian found throughout the eastern US and Canada. They are rarely found far from water and rely upon semi-permanent freshwater ponds or slow moving streams for their early development. American Toads are able to live in a variety of environments, from forests to fields and can be found living in urban areas near gardens, where they surface at night to hunt insects near artificial light sources such as porch lights. They have poisonous glands on their 'warts' but the toxin is only dangerous to humans if ingested or if it comes in contact with eyes.
