Some Wildlife...

The latest sketches. Drawing animals is lots of fun, but it often feels really difficult to capture that spark or sense of character that each animal has.

Some cockatoos, reference images are from Google, a modern artist’s best friend.

Bilbies. In case you don’t know, these are Australian marsupials http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilby

Since it’s coming up to Easter, don’t forget to get a chocolate bilby at Darell Lea instead of an easter bunny. Money raised goes to helping save bilbies from extinction. A worthy cause :)

Did I mention how cute bilbies are?

And here are some golden eagle sketches I did. Feathers are my bane. Seriously difficult to get right. I love drawing birds though. Perhaps I’m masochistic…
