Contour drawing animals from life at the zoo!
In this video I talk about my process for drawing animals from life at the zoo. I also use this to draw animals at home, but zoo animals are especially interesting to draw! I like working with contour line drawing, which especially suits the short time you have to capture the animal's pose before it moves! I show you some of the drawings in my sketchbook from my trips to the zoos- Amsterdam's ARTIS which is my local zoo, and Pairi Daiza in Belgium where I was lucky enough to sleep in a room overnight next to the walrus enclosure! I also talk about how to develop your line drawings in your sketchbook if you don't like some of the (scribbly!) results.
