Cafe Sketch Zoo Final

For class this week we went to the Columbus Zoo for the last time. It was great and tons of fun. I really enjoyed drawing the animals each trip. Here are a few of the best sketches from the trip.

Cafe Sketch Final

This is the final assignment for cafe sketch. We had to go back to one of our previous assignments and merge a human form with a creature/alien or animal. For most of the assignment, I chose to draw an alien pirate fighting a huge space beast. I drew from several fencing drawings I had done from the Arnold Classic and other reference. I also decided to draw hippos attempting to be ballerinas.

Cafe Sketch Bruckner Sketches Week 12

This week for class we went to the Bruckner Wildlife Conservation Center. It was a big park with lots of trails. They also had several fun animals to draw. Here are a few of the best sketches from the trip.

Cafe Sketch Silhouettes HW Week 12

This week we drew 50 silhouettes of animals we saw at the Bruckner Wildlife Conservatory. I chose to draw owls, squirrels, turkey vultures, foxes, and bobcats for this week.

Cafe Sketch Zoo Drawings Week 11

This week we went to the zoo to draw the animals. I felt like I had a really successful run at the zoo, and I got over 100 drawings of several different kinds of animals. My favorite animals to draw were the monkeys because they had fun poses. Also included in this set of 5 is a rhino and a binturong.

Cafe Sketch Zoo Skeletons HW Week 11

This week we had to draw skeletons from the animals we saw at the zoo. I chose to do a wide range of animals as I ended up wandering around a bit at the zoo. My favorite animals to draw were the monkeys because they swung around and did lots of fun poses. I had a hard time making "gestural" sketches of the skeletons as most of them were fairly complicated and I wasn't really sure how much to include.

Cafe Sketch Animal Studies Week 10 HW

This week we drew 10 sketches of four different kinds of animals and 10 details sketches. I chose to draw a snapping turtle, an otter, a flamingo, and a golden frog.
