A cat and some comedy

This boy is always available for a quick pose. 

Had some fun drawing the main character from the British comedy series, "Black Books"

More zoo sketchin'

It was a lovely day of zoo sketching with Drink & Draw in Portland! We lucked out on the weather and we got some great posers. The black bears were playing "king of the snowpile", the elephants young and old were giving us a good show, and at least a couple of us saw the lion cubs for JUST a moment!

"Animated Arts PDX" Drink & Draw gestures!

At the Animated Arts PDX drink & draw, I did my best to keep up with the crazy performances of a juggler, fan dancer, hoola-hooper, aikido demonstrator, and other dancers.  It was a special night for gesture drawing!

Always with the kitties

Doing some kitty studies

Portland Art Museum sketch crawl

Last night I went to the Portland Art Museum with the official Drink & Draw Portland group.  Every fourth Friday night, the museum is free to get into from 5-8pm.  So we brought our sketchbooks, drew from about 6:30-8, and wandered over to a bar and shared sketchbooks and drinkies.  This was a unique and wonderful drawing experience!

Short zoo day

A quick zoo visit means quick zoo drawings.  

More Zoo Drawing with ASIFA Portland and the Portland Urban Sketchers!

Had another lovely day at the zoo with ASIFA Portland and the Portland Urban Sketchers! One of the best. Drawing days. Evar. FUN!

Even more zoo sketching

I sure love drawing the animals at the zoo.  Even the homo sapiens sometimes. 

More sketching at the zoo!

Went to the zoo to sketch again!  Still my favorite sketching location.  If any Portland drawers ever want to help me make another zoo sketch gathering happen, just hit me up via ASIFA Portland and I'll make it happen one way or another! (I've been the one initiating these gatherings thus far)

Clearly, the tiger did not want to participate in posing for us.

Another zoo day with ASIFA Portland!

We had an awesome group of animation artists partake in another ASIFA Portland zoo day (that I organized cuz--  I LOVE this kind of thing).  What a blast, and so inspiring to hang out with like-minded drawers.  Yay!

Zoo sketch with ASIFA - April 2012

Due to the ancient laptop going kaput that was the only computer in my house that would run my ancient scanner, I had to use my camera. I apologize for blurriness.

I think the first one is my favorite. =3
