You Can't Mistake My Zoology

Hello everyone! I've been visiting my local zoo and farm as of recently to draw and study our lovable friends of the animal kingdom. I've always loved animals since I was a kid and always managed to be a caretaker of many pets growing up, from dogs, hamsters, freshwatered fish, and pigeons, to parrots, turtles, guinea pigs, and bunnies, my house was literally a zoo of it's own. We'll start off with a corpulent pig I spotted at the zoo, I absolutely loved the way it was sleeping, with it's ears covering it's eyes. I thought that was really cute.

Here is an adorable little piglet, just recently born. While I was drawing them, he would come over to my side to see what was up.

Can llama's be anymore good looking? I think not. lol. I love drawing their long eyelashes.

Some more animals studies, featuring a duck and some sheep.

I went to the zoo with my good friend Chingyi, and I drew her in place of a chimp. lol. She is a wonderful artist and I highly encourage everyone to check out her lovely artwork!

Emu's are incredible, it's insane how they resemble a raptor. I had a lot of fun drawing him and would definitely want him as a pet! More 'Sexy Links' added, thank you everyone for the comments, you're all amazing artists! Now, I'm going to go finish up some hot girl posters and do more animal drawings. Stay ace, everyone!

OMG ranny!!! You make my eyes sing. Like, with little mouths and all.

Is that a scary thought? I think it is.

But they're so in love with your art they just can't help it...

Thanks you guyz!

Robin: I want my eyes to do that too, srsly! It would be so fun to draw at a zoo together! Imagine! I'll go to Canada someday, or you can come to Cali! Yeay!

Chingyi: I dunno. I wanted to go to the farm tmr again. It's pretty hot outside though and the zoo has a lot of trees for shade. There's a lot of baby animals at the farm! :')

Alpacas, lamas, camels, and cows have the best eyelashes! And those pigs are rockin' with their floppy ears. My parents neighbors have emus. Those things can totally kill you, be careful!

Everything is great, but I really really liked the duck and the emu. Birds are so cool and interesting. And damn hard to draw well, but you nailed them here!

great perspective of Chingyi. And that was wonderful colors added to the Emu. It definitely looks like something out of Jurassic Park.

Dang those sketches are KICKASS!!! I used to draw all the stuff I saw everyday in my sketchpad, but because I lived in the Hood and not on a farm, I'd draw bums and meth-heads.

They usually stayed pretty still though-

HOLLAH!
