LA Zoo Day

Had a fun filled day at the LA Zoo yesterday, met up with some friends and made some new ones. I need to get over there more often, I missed it.

Zoo Day!

Wednesday, lots of apes..

and a bear

Used brush pen for the quick warm ups and Faber-Castell colored pencil. It was really hard to draw the howler type black moneys near the chimps. Oh my they were going crazy, and it wasn't hard because they were moving, it was hard because I couldn't stop laughing, they were Amazing!!

Zoo Day!

Zoo sketches from Wednesday. Top left image is of the stage from the World of Birds show. It was actually pretty good. All done in pen, then added digital color.

Zoo Day!

Wow, what a gorgeous day! Couldn't have asked for better weather. So here's my sketches from today's Zoo trip :] Threw some simple blocks of color behind the sketches to try and bring out the poses a little more. Hopefully it doesn't detract too much from the line work.

Zoo Day!

Another LA Zoo day! It was a little harder to get into hard core drawing mode today, I think we're still getting used to being in the heat haha. I know I'm used to being stuck inside constantly, I've probably gotten more sun since the Ren Faire than I've had in YEARS. I'm enjoying it, but my body is having to adjust to the massive amounts of vitamin D.
Anyway, here are the sketches from today in chronological order, pen and graphite. :]

*Bonus* (sort of)
God of War II Gestures, pen and marker. I did these... this weekend maybe? Wish my days wouldn't run themselves together so much, I keep forgetting its Wednesday. Oh goodness.

Zoo Day!

Here's a little something from today's LA Zoo trip. The people were some warm ups I did sitting in the chairs near the zoo entrance. As far as the animal drawings go, recently I've been becoming more and more relaxed when I sketch. I used to kind of tense up and rush myself but now I'm taking more time to analyze the anatomy and specifically take note of the underlying structures; like muscle shapes and joint connections. Great day.

Eventful day at the zoo on Friday. The Hippo was out of the water and I actually got a chance to see the Rhino. Oh and I rolled my ankle so I can't do anything this weekend lol. I just hope it heals good enough for me to go to the Drawing Club next week.

LA Zoo again

Results from a quick trip to the zoo with Nilah Saturday (18July). I was so excited to see the bears were out!



























After I dropped her off I headed over to check out the Crazy 4 Cult 3D show @ Gallery 1988 http://bit.ly/GsdYm

LA Zoo Sketchin

What I really love about drawing from life is the same thing that frustrates me, the Challenge! This is EVERYTHING I drew today, nothing has been excluded.
The most challenging animal for me today were the tigers. But watching one play with a keg made my sketching much more enjoyable despite my hardships.

LA ZOO

What a day, up at 7 to get an oil change, then straight to Echo park followed by a quick zoo trip all the while drawing my various destinations. Could my day have gotten better...? Only if I remembered to get a strawberry lemonade.
Had an amazing time today and met some great new friends and possibly some future zoo buddies :]

Happy 23rd Sketchcrawl everybody!

if you didn't go this time you better make it next time!
