Last week while visiting family in CA, I got to spend a few hours at the amazing San Diego Zoo. The place is huge! We barely made it through 1/3 of the place. Next time I'll have to make a visit to the wild animal park, too, haven't been in years.
ANYWHO, I thought I'd share some of the sketches that came out of that trip. The first place we stopped was the reptile house so much of the goodness happened there.
 |
| Tried to label the animals when I could for later reference - this guy was probably my favorite from the whole trip. |
 |
| Some of the snakes were downright adorable |
 |
| This big orangutan was another favorite. He had this perfectly groomed-looking epic facial hair |
 |
| He also would sit around and strike crime-boss type poses. Also note the bird with the awesome mohawk and name. I love crazy hairstyles on animals. |
 |
| The aviaries were another great section to visit. |
 |
| Was losing steam at this point, but had to do some of the nutty flamingo poses on the way out. |
 |
| Fabulous zoo hat for the occasion. Also note the proper sketching stance - the more uncomfortable it is, the better. |
Zoo sketching is the best! Everyone should go to their nearest zoo and draw everything. We didn't even see half the zoo and I got to sketch some really amazing animals with so much personality.
Happy sketching!
