In Class Sketches XIV

We went to the Zoo once again.  This time I tried to focus on the skulls and heads of the animals as this has been a bit of a week point for me.

In Class Skecthes XIII

We went to the zoo again!  This times we did drawings that were a bit longer and a bit more detailed.  One orangutang was lying with his face inches from the glass and his eyes would flicker to me every once and a while as a drew him.

Cafe Sketch HW VII

This week we were supposed to choose 20 of are sketches that we thought were aesthetically appealing, then make 5 new appealing sketches.  I found that the sketches I liked the most had confident strokes and conveyed movement.  I took some of my old sketches and pushed them to try to make them more appealing.

Here are the new sketches

 and here are the 20 I picked out as appealing.

Last Friday we studied canines.  In the morning we drew gestures from pictures on the internet.  Later, I had the opportunity to draw a pit bull and a wolf!  Now I can say I pet a real wolf!  The wolf was brought to us by Iron Wolves.  To learn more about them and their mission click here.
