Animal Antomy

I took an animal anatomy class last semester and never went through my 300 or so drawings. Here are just a few to start.

A woman brought in her greyhounds, they are really cute. Their faces straight on are the silliest things ever.

We went to the Oakland Zoo in my animal anatomy class, it was really fun and I got some great sketches! Sorry for the watermark, people love to steal art.

Funny story, the giraffes and antelope were in the same enclosure. Well I caught a giraffe kicking one out of its way, like full on kick. Dang, right?

Theses are all sketched in about 20 mins or less.


Fluttershy

Yes, I watch My Little Pony, don't think you'll like it? Just give it a chance.

 I drew this at an arts and crafts fair. Drawn with prismacolors and cleaned up with photoshop.



Mlp and Fluttershy belong to Hasbro/the Hub/Lauren Faust.

Some of my Inspirations


As of right now, these are some of of the artists that I highly look up to. The list could probably be around 100 people, but I'm really starting to focus on animal anatomy, story telling, and traditional media, and these three guys have/ had this down pat! 

I would really love to see who my friends and inspirations are inspired by, that's often how you find some new and really amazing artists!

Cute Little Spring Birds


A good night post, feeling a bit sad, I drew something that would cheer me up! I've been looking at children's books to get ready for my upcoming class, I couldn't help it!

Children's Book Art?

The prospects of becoming a Children's book Artist are better than ever!

The more people I speak with, the more opportunities I find for me to expand my horizons with options such as self publishing, or just creating books in general. With the help of my friends that have these wonderful talents of writing and creating stories, I feel that whomever I pair up with, it will be a great venture.

I've always been the artist that sketches a lot, that sketches random things. I don't have a character to draw and I have little to no ideas of my own. I'm proud to say that I have been creating small characters here and there (example above) for myself and to show that I have the capability to do it.
