sketches
So here are a few sketches from my trip to the zoo a few weeks ago. About 5 minutes or less--it was a really nice day out and hard to draw with so many people at the zoo. :D So I didn't draw too much or linger for long. Anyway..
And this is just a girl from a magazine, which while I was drawing her I realized that she had very long legs and the dress she was wearing was very, odd. lol.
I love the sketches, I really find that even sketching for short periods of time from life really helps me figure something out. Like if I'm working on a project with a cat in it, drawing any four-legged animal helps me figure out how the legs should work, etc. A good trick for sketching things like that is to not just sketch the contour, but to sketch it in circles or masses to get a sense of what it's body's really doing.
