Reptile Releve

Some more doodles from my daughter's ballet class. Kinda.

Tiki Time

Just felt like drawing some Tikis.

Raptor

I've been following the blog, Love in the time of Chasmosaurs. Great blog if you love dinosaurs, Which I kind of forgot that I did. Anyway, there's always lots of talk on there about dinosaurs being feathered, which everyone is pretty certain they were now. The idea kinda creeps me out. Birds have always been scary to me for some reason that I could never explain, so to add feathers to a Raptor or Trex, well it conjures images that are horrifying and fascinating at the same time. So I doodled this little guy- no particular species just something in the raptor vein.

Bored Bruin

Twinkle Toes

Drawing real kids in ballet class is so boring. I did these instead.

Mr. Fizzlemeyer

Just a doodle of one of my teachers from back when I went to school in the forest. Man, his clothes were outdated. Heck of a teacher though.

Down in the dumps

Take that!

The worst part is that none of the other dogs would believe Fido's story the next day.

Ballet sketches

Just a few sketches from my daughter's ballet class last week.

Hand over the nuts....

... and nobody gets hurt.

Koalas

Now who could that be at this time of night?

G'day!

I find myself trying to avoid drawing the "gimmicky" animals- you know the ones God seems to have made to make us do a double take the first time we see them? Then I run out of ideas, draw one of these animals that have been used as endless fodder for cartoons and characters, and remember why they are such favorites- they're really interesting! I have a few more Koala's but barely have time to scan things nowadays. So for now, enjoy these. And a preemptive excuse- I knew Koala's had 2 thumbs on each hand, and suspected that they did on their feet also. But I drew most of these before really consulting any reference. Turns out the foot thumbs are on the outside of the foot, opposite of what I've shown. So if you were going to comment just to tell me I did the thumbs wrong, don't bother.

On second thought, you can comment anyway. I really like comments.
