A Month + Drawings around Southern California

September/October - Animal Drawing with Linda

 These are some sketches from the Natural History Museum and the Page.

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.
