Zhursday Zoo Sketches

Here are 2 of my favorite sketches I did today at the zoo.

More Sketches

You might be wondering why I draw the same fishes every time I got to the aquarium. It is simple, they are the slowest moving and are the easiest to draw.

Phil Hale And Zoo Sketches

Phil Hale study I did for warm ups today and zoo sketches I did a few days ago.

Frankenstein Sample

This is a sample piece I did for someone who needs icons done for a slot machine game. So the final image for this would be much smaller. I think I may have gone more "realistic" than what he was looking for. I will find out in a few days. Image took about 3 hours, sketch to finish.

More Aquarium Sketches.

Went to the aquarium again today. I did these ones in ink. I think they look a lot better than the pencil sketches. I really love drawing the eels, they have so much character to them.

Aquarium and Zoo Sketches

Some sketches I did at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla a few days ago and sketches from the San Diego Zoo that I did today. I wanted to draw the tigers, they were right near the glass, but there were too many people taking pictures of their kids next to the tigers. Next time I will have to go earlier.

Loomis Head Studies

Here are some head studies I did from Andrew Loomis. There are a few placement issues in the drawings, but they came out ok. I was mostly studying the way he describes form, not that that is an excuse for drawing issues.

Paint Study of Clouds

Here is a little digital paint study I did of some storm clouds at sunset that I took a picture of when I was on vacation. About an hour and a half.
