Chimps

 Here are some slightly cartoonier primate sketches from this morning.

sketches from zoo shows - focus on primates

Now that the crazy man is gone, the news has been boring so I now watch a lot of zoo shows in the morning and like to sketch the animals (and some of the people too).

Here are some of our closest relatives.

 

Naturalists are among my heroes.

So are prosimians.

Here are some kids at the zoo about to meet a tame flying wombat or something.

 

Animal Studies

 I like drawing animals from nature shows.

I struggle to try to draw "realistic" sketches of beasts with the hope that I can later interpret what I learn into more cartoony designs.

The problem is I rarely remember what I thought I learned after a couple days.

There is an infinite variety of rumps out there in the wilds - which is very helpful to a cartoonist.
