Did a few animal sketches in ink today on a local museum, with stuffed animals. I was almost alone in there with dinosaurs, sperm whales, owls, mammoths and bears.
Great day.
Work there to practice – great to study the shapes and forms of creatures from the last 500 million years of history

Study of a standing bear

study of parrots - ink and brushes

ink and brushes - owl study

I went to the cafe’ and did a fast sketch – of this creature – I am not quite sure if it ever existed outside my head:

That is all for today – will try to put up new drawings here every day here – lets see if I can do that…
