Last month, I went to the zoo and did some live sketching of the animals there with a few other artists! The sketches themselves didn’t turn out great - I’m very out of my element when drawing from life - but I wanted to try finalizing these sketches digitally, because even though the details are off on the sketches, I do find the shapes quite interesting. So for these I wanted to keep the original shapes but rework the details and add some color to make the animals more accurate.

In order to isolate the linework from the scanned sketch, I used the technique described in this short demo: https://www.patreon.com/posts/demo-turning-66779976

Hope you like these! Have a great weekend everyone ❤

I absolutely love the fluid feeling of your art! Been a fan for a long long time and just bought your new book! I have the entire collection. They are so beautiful!

I love your zoo sketches--especially the crane!! The curves of your lines are always so fluid. I wish I could sketch at the zoo more often, but the closest is over an hour drive away. But I recently discovered live animal drawing sessions over zoom. You have to draw SO quickly, but it's a lot of fun.

i think that could be just as effective! as long as they're moving, you're still challenging your skills a lot!
