More Derping Around

Decided to experiment with some more sketches from the zoo. :)

Musk Ox

Sichuan Takin with Calf

Tapir

Ooooh LAYERS!!!

Just downloaded paint.net which is a free, watered down version of photoshop, but easier to use and fun. I've been playing around with adding texture layers to make my sketches look a little less blaaah. :)

On this one I added a paper bag texture and lightened the inside of the sketch to make it stand out more :)

Aztec

We took the students on a field trip to the raptor center and since the handler requested we not take pictures of the owl (in case the flash accidentally went off-- she is easily spooked) one of the little boys asked me to draw a picture of her. This is Aztec the spectacled owl. :-)

Commission progress

Did a lot of work today-- about 40% finished with the painting. I think I need to put a bit more detail in the foliage and the building needs something... I don't know what yet... Maybe when I look at it tomorrow it will be more obvious.

Yesterday's Entries

Yesterday I drew one of the children I work with-- usually they don't sit still long enough for me to draw them properly but when they are watching TV they can remain in the same pose for quite a while.

totally hypnotized

Also drew a Great Dane watching Animal Planet-- it reminded me of a Great Dane that lived next door to my best friend. :)
