I didn't draw the spots but focused on the body type

Foxes

I like drawing foxes. These from photos found online. Ballpoint pen.

tree

with an interesting shape

I never draw enough of the environment, just the animals. So made myself draw this huge old tree that had a very cool shape. You can see the size of it by the lioness sketched in standing underneath (from TV viewing). Uniball mirco pen.

Cat napping

Cats are always easiest to draw when they're sleeping! Ballpoint pen.

Crocs

One of my kid's favorite TV shows is Dirty Jobs. She even likes watching the reruns, so when one came up I'd seen before about a snake farm, I took the opportunity to pause it and draw some big reptiles.

when they run, the young crocs can lift their bodies clear off the ground

Dinosaurs

Said to myself today: I don't know if I've ever drawn a dinosaur. So I gathered up my kid's plastic figures and drew some. Aside from triceratops, I don't know what any of these creatures are called, but they sure have interesting shapes. Two are prehistoric mammals. Ballpoint pen.
