polar bear

they do have small heads, but I think I drew his head too small

maribou stork

young baboons

foxes

I have actually done very little drawing these past few weeks; the pics I'm sharing now are from last month. These foxes were sketched on different days, the third one with rollerball pen, others all ballpoint.

dolphin

it was probably trying to catch yesterday's cod; I don't remember now

squids

These small ones I drew at the Museum of Natural History. It was a large diorama featuring prehistoric sea life. I looked for something telling me the names of the creatures but couldn't find the info.

sharks

haven't hardly ever drawn one

ostrich

They were standing in the wind, so the feathers blown down and flat, no fluffy plumes.

zebra

I tried to really focus on observing and drawing the shapes and directions of the stripes accurately, this time. Didn't quite work out- there should be a few more on the body just behind the shoulder and more on the neck. So either I made the neck and head too small, or the stripes there too big.

lions

not very good lions, but here they are

the posture is awkward; it looks as if his head is set too far back; the neck (or mane) should be bigger and I just got the legs all wrong...

also my pen was a bit leaky so it left black blotches sometimes where I didn't want them. But still fun to draw!
