Sketch from life at the Woodland Park Zoo. Charcoal

Cat Illustration

I went to a cat show several years ago and this was one of the beautiful animals there. I was considering drawing several cats as illustrations and selling them as cards, and this was the first one that I completed.

This is an old pen and ink drawing that I experimented with using a crosshatch technique

Mink Skull

This was another assignment from my Scientific Illustration class. I believe it's a mink skull. We had to buy a little kit of things to draw, and I got this skull, the cornish hen skull, a frog skeleton, and a green beetle. This was drawn from life (or death, haha).
Gouache and colored pencil on mi-teintes paper.

Cornish Game Hen

I attended a Scientific Illustration program at the U of W extension in Seattle several years ago. It was really fun and very demanding. This was one of the first things I had to draw, the skull of a cornish game hen. This was drawn from life, I think with Rapidograph pen and crowquill pen and ink.

Cat

A quick sketch of my cat sleeping. Charcoal on bond paper.

Andalusian Horse

This is the second drawing I did of this Andalusian horse, he was really gorgeous. Rapidograph pen on Bristol cold-press.

Andalusian Horse

I saw this beautiful grey horse at an Andalusian show several years ago and just had to draw it. At one point I was planning on drawing a bunch of animal portraits in this style, and possibly selling them as postcards. I don't know why I lost interest in it, because it was enjoyable at the time.  I think my day job was interfering with my time and I decided I had to give something up, and I didn't want to give up painting so I dropped this.

Cats

Here's a pencil sketch I did of my cats for illustration practice. I like the sketch better than the finished work, of course.
