Animal Sketches

Thought I would share some of the sketches I did at Parken Zoo and Naturhistoriska riksmuseet. I so want to visit Naturhistoriska again and draw more animals. I drew them with black filtpen and ProMarkers. 

Reworked

I hate to publish the same images twice but I reworked these images in Photoshop and painted a part of the flower in watercolor. Even that one is reworked in Photoshop cs5.

The Sloth And The Frog

So this is what I have been working on this week. We where at Parken Zoo and at Naturhistoriska riksmuseet and draw animals which we used as references for our paintings. I have practical lived in School this week, but it has been so much fun and I have learned so much. 

I chose the sloth since I feel in love with it right away when I saw it. He had "I wanna hug you" written all over his face. The frog just had so much character. I kind of felt some empathy for him since he looked as lost as I'm normally feel.

I now that they doesn't really look that realistic. I have a tendency to put to much manga/comic book style into my pictures. But I like the outcome anyway.

Where The Wild Roses Grow

Thought I would update with some random sketches. The first one is supposed to be a portrait of Natalie Portman the other ones are still life sketches. Think they match kind of nice together.

School Assignment Bee

I'm  finally done with this school assignment. It took me five days to do, which is much more time then I use to put in to a painting. It's done in watercolors, white gouache and some small editing in Photoshop CS5. We got an insect each in the class that we had to create a picture of. I chose an bee mainly cause there wasn't many options left when it was my turn and because I thought it would be funny to work on all those hair. I had so much fun doing this and for once I'm actally really happy with the outcome.
