Updates, really?

I figured I should probably update this after almost two months of not putting anything up here. 

So here are some sketches and other such art. 

I draw wolves in church. 

Once in a while, the wolf will dress in asian attire. Dinosaurs are there as well. 

Basketball game gestures. 

We've had a lot of birds hit our windows this spring. As sad as it is, it makes for a great drawing opportunity. This little guy was a Black Capped Chickadee. There was a large woodpecker, but the chickadee was less decayed so I decided to keep this blog PG and drew him instead. 

Gina, Stephanie, TJ and I headed up to the Zoo last weekend for a sketch adventure. 

The zoo is always trying to come up with new and exciting ways to get people to visit. This time around, they had giant owls riding wolves. 

No, that giraffe is not from the Bean and it was in fact a living animal. 

After that trip, I realized I had zero knowledge of big cat anatomy. So I studied big cats for several hours and then sketched this guy out.

 

My little niece! 

That's it for now!

'Sketchin at the Zoo and Goodbye for now, Uncle Cal

First off, here's a bit from the Park City visit last weekend: 

I really need to get me some watercolors so my pictures can actually have depth to them. 

I went to the zoo today with the fam. It was so much fun to go up there and just spend time with family while sketching the animals. Those suckers are hard to draw when they move around all the time. Well, I guess I have a lot more sketching to do before I will be able to draw the way I'd like to draw. 

Elephants. These were surprisingly some of my favorites from today. They're colored with grey Prismacolor, but the scanner killed it. Sorry!

The Rhino. Am I getting this gesture concept down? 

The Peccary. Most of the animals were sleeping or in the process of falling asleep. That's okay because it's easier to draw them that way. 

Zebra gestures. Though the bottom one looks like a gorilla. What was I drawing there? I can't remember. 

Giraffe, Leopard, Tiger. 

My favorite one of the day. Giraffe's are amazingly fun to draw. 

This Arabian Wildcat looked exactly like my cat, Sealie. Just a wee bit bigger. 

It's a happy camel! 

I'd also like to take a moment and say how much I love my Uncle Cal. He was a huge hero in my life and I'm going to miss him so much. But I know he's still with our family and will be watching over us. I can't wait to see you again, Cal! I miss you and I love you.
