Yes, I understand I misspelled "Bieber". :P

I saw a Fox last night.

Evil Llama

They are planning something...oh yes....

Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Drawings

Fur and other studies!

Red Panda studies. I have huge issues drawing really furry animals. (I get confused on how to convey that they are furry.) I decided to start studying furry little animals in order to finally solve this problem via trail and error.

Some studies of Persian kitties. :3

Three gestures from a Starbucks trip.

Studies of my cat, Ashie.

Designing an original character : Part 1

I started my first baby steps toward my chosen schools portfolio requirements.

The drawing test requires the design of an original character. After going through various ideas in my head, I came up a messy sketch of this girl.

I liked how it turned out in the sense that she looks a lot different than what I would normally draw.

After a few hours of attempting to draw her in a pose, I realized that I will need another sold week or two of anatomy study to perfect the pose.

Since I had a face, I decided to work on various expressions.

The first sketch is the very last facial attempt that day. I made her look like she was beaming. The lips look terrible in the second sketch but I like other aspects, such as the eyebrows.

First sketches where I drew the face and re-drew the same face with a different expression and in a different position. (You can also see all of my guidelines. ^_^)

Saturday's activites.

On Saturday I biked to a conservation area located near my apartment. My main goal was photos of birds, but I ended up leaving with this as my only picture. It's a Wooly Bear Caterpillar.

I adore these little guys and move them to safety if I discover them in a place where they can be squashed.

While walking the trail, my companion and I heard a strange call. I thought of a list of birds that were spotted in the area and exclaimed "it's a gray catbird". He thought that I was making it up until I pulled out my birding app and showed him. We never got a clear look at the bird but the area it was found in matched and the call was unmistakable. (It sounded like a Siamese cat.)

The total distance biked that day was about 15 miles plus all the walking we did in the conservation area. Not too bad.

Red Panda Study

Some quick painting practice. I referenced a photograph I took at the Toronto Zoo.

My cat.

This is Ashie.

She is moody.

She is violent.

She also doesn't like me.

This is the look I get from her at least once per day.....

Sketches

Random people and a local chipmunk.

I start my first figure drawing class tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous...

Baby Polar Bear and Artic Fox

Two of my favorite photographs from the Toronto Zoo visit earlier this March.
