Animal Drawring at the Zoo

Just got back from the last day of David Colman’s Weekend Animal Drawing Workshop.  Today was the more difficult portion of the workshop as we drew the animals at the zoo.  It’s been a long while since I’ve drawn at the zoo and it shows.  Something I definitely need to do more of nonetheless.  Luckily, I have my saturdays to work on that at the zoo and the tar-pits.

For those of you that weren’t able to attend the workshop, good news for you: David recorded his demos and will upload them on the internet.  That’s only a small part of the workshop, the one on one critiques from David are more beneficial than a demo because it’s personally tailored to your current artistic ability.  I was fortunate enough to take his Animal Character Design class and those personal crits helped my drawing improve a great deal.

It’s still a learning process and this weekend just gave me more motivation to focus in on my animal drawing.  Maybe I’ll see you guys at the zoo or the tar-pits on a saturday.

Cheers!

Digging through old sketchbooks

Decided to post up my first drawings from when I took David’s Animal Character Design Class over a year ago.  It almost seems like I kinda know what I’m doing now.  haha.

Anyways, I remember people looking at my sketchbook when I first started drawing at the zoo and they would say how  this drawing was cool and how that gesture was great.  I had to correct them and be like “David Colman did it.”  That’s why I have little captions on the cool drawings/gestures.

I just wanted to post these to show that we all have to start somewhere on our road to becoming a good artist.  I’m not sure how close I am to being a fairly competent artist, but I packed enough snacks for a long road trip.  Now lets get drawing!
