Sheep/Goats
Today I am getting caught up on my scanning. Here is the goat/sheep homework from the Bovine section of Joe's class. I did these drawings at the Natural History Museum. The NHM is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles. Some people don't like it claiming it's too dark and cold. I love it there especially the new mammals section.
Birds - Eagles/Hawks
I drew these birds a couple of weeks ago for Joe Weatherly's class. I wanted to use an eagle one of the central characters of the Hymn of the Pearl.

Camels
Working on Camels this week in Joe's class. We had a sub who basically told me I am getting too illustrative and flat and losing the structure.
These are studies from Lawrence of Arabia
These are studies from Tim's pictures at Oasis Camel Farm.
This is an ancient giraffe like camel at the Natural History Museum. It got too slight. I got a lot of criticism on lots of meaningless details and not enough structure.

Canine Family
We worked on the Canine Family last week in my Animal Anatomy class with Joe Weatherly. In my graphic novel there are 3 distinct dogs - a pastoral dog that helps a shepherdess (maybe a Canaan Dog), a jackal and a saluki. These are the studies of those dogs.
I did these drawings of the dire wolf at the Page Museum.
These are some construction drawings of the Saluki.
Here are my muscle studies and anatomy. Joe doesn't like the way I draw the muscles. I have no idea what I'm doing when I draw them. These studies are based on the Saluki.

Natural History Museum
Drawings from the Natural History Museum.
Joe's Polar Bear
My Polar Bear
Joe's Buffalo
My Polar Bear
Worked on these dinosaur drawings in Joe's class at the Natural History Museum. I liked how the came out. Sometimes I hust want to work in pencil. The freedom of being able to erase even if I don't erase that much.

Sketching Around the Zoo
These are some more sketches from the last 2 weekends at the zoo. It was raining a little. The animals are always moving and I don't know the anatomy well enough to really make it up but I try my best and sometimes they come back to the same position again. Sometimes I even like my drawings. I really never have been to the LA Zoo until this year. It is sort of like a prison for animals. A lot of them look sad and lonely. LA might privatize (sell) the Zoo to help relieve it's financial problems. The zoo is filled with strollers and screaming wild kids on Sundays. It's quite a scene.
Flamingos
Giant Elan
Rhinosaurus
A jaguar drawn by my teacher Joe Weatherly.
More Rhino with pencil and tombo marker.
Zebras with the art pen. My husband likes the drawing of the zebra but.
I forgot what these are called.

These are some of my Gerenuks
Here are some Antelopes, Bongos, etc. drawn from taxidermy at the Natural History Museum.

Giraffes - Zoo/Natural History/Books/Video
I worked on giraffes all this week.
This is Joe Weatherly's drawing at the zoo yesterday.
This is another of my instructor, Joe Weatherly's drawings.
This is my drawing at the Zoo. Joe said the proportions of my legs to my neck are not right in my drawings. Either my neck is too short or my legs are too long. I like this drawing though.
These are some sketches at the zoo, as well as, some copies from Joe's book.
These are some drawings I did from Rhino House DVDs
These are some copies from various books.
This is a mix of copies and my own stuff.

Joe's stuff is still way more 3D than mine but I definately learned some stuff this week about the giraffe.
