Cafe Sketch Cat Sanctuary Week 09 Classwork

This week for class we went to the cat sanctuary and rescue. They had over 320 cats there all running loose! It was pretty fun to draw them, but there wasn't much in the way of sitting (or standing). Here are the five best cat drawings from the session.

Cafe Sketch Mammal Drawings Week 09 Homework

This week for homework we had to draw a four-legged mammal of our choice. I chose to draw bears and had lots of fun doodling them. Bears get into some fun positions and have really unique faces. Here are 50 bears doing bear things.

Cafe Sketch Feline Studies Week 08 031414

For homework this week we had to choose from either drawing felines or canines of various breeds and do a series of head studies. I chose to draw short hair, long hair, and hairless cats. I feel like I had a rough time starting the assignment, but I got more comfortable with drawing the cats as I completed the assignment. I still feel like I need some practice drawing four-legged creatures, but I think this assignment and our cat house outing will help me feel more comfortable.

Cafe Sketch Alpacas Week 08 031414

This week we went to the alpaca show at OSU and drew alpacas all day. It was great! The alpacas didn't move much, which was both a blessing and a curse. I feel like I didn't get too many different poses of alpacas, but I think I ended up figuring out their anatomy pretty well by the end of the session. Here are my five best drawings from the outing.

Cafe Sketch Week 07 Homework 030714

This week we had to draw 30 sketches of one of the events from the Arnold Classic. I chose to draw fencing again. I had lots of fun drawing the uniforms and exaggerating the poses to get really dramatic figures. To be honest, I just really like drawing their helmets. I really liked drawing the fencers in a dodge position. Their dodges put them in a weird in-between state of totally off-balance and in-control.

Cafe Sketch Arnold Classic 030714

This week we went to the Arnold Classic to draw all of the weight lifting and sports competitions. It was lots of fun to go see all of the events. However, it was really crowded and I had a hard time finding a spot to draw in some events. Of all of the events, I liked fencing the best because it had some really fancy poses and the fencers were easily accessible. I also drew some weight lifters and a cool dude with his little girl on his back.
