Day 25

So, since I haven't finished my ring-tailed lemur sketch I felt it necessary to finish a sketch today. This is another baby pygmy hippo. I used everything I could get my hands on in the studio: pastel, charcoal, gouache, pencil...

I've never experienced wanting to spend multiple sittings on a sketch. This is the one that has changed that (along with the other endangered/baby chick sketches). I am truly enjoying
working on this one.

Project IV Day 5: Little Auk

Little Auks are indeed little. They are round with sweet short bills. One day I shall hold one in the palm of my hand...

Day 12

I thought I would try something different. I've never sketched/painted a migration pattern. A more detailed series would be fun I do believe.

Day 7

You can see in this baby Magpie's eyes that he is just waiting to grow up and peck your eyes out. Aren't babies of all species supposed to look sweet and kind-hearted? This charcoal and pastel sketch is on a piece of 11"x14" drawing paper. Tuesdays = 12 hour workday which in turn = smaller, meaner sketches.
