Zoo Sketching!

Hello readers, it's been a while. I've been pretty busy with work. Please forgive me and continue visiting! Here's some sketches from my zoo trip!

Little kids are great when the sketching is good. This little boy was pleading his mom to look at my sketchbook, but I think she wanted to give me privacy. I volunteered and she seemed genuinely impressed. That feels good.

 Crowds of people block the view sometimes, but that shouldn't stop the flow of ink.

A girl doesn't often get to ride a lion... Here's a picture of me at the entrance of the San Antonio Zoo.

Until next time!

San Antonio Zoo / Toy Studies / Nature Documentary Drawing

From the San Antonio Zoo...

In preparation for drawing moving zoo animals, I studied toy animals. These are from imagination using a toy as reference...

Also wanted to see various realistic poses, so I drew these while watching Planet Earth...

Animals are so fascinating and I like spending time with them and learning about them. I am continually in awe of how they are so naked against the world and still carve out a life for themselves. That is a power we understand little of, now that we've been so removed from nature.

I hope to have more animal-related posts :) I'm hoping that all this studying will lead to a strong enough understanding to do awesome character designs!
