Sheepish

This is my second attempt at landscape, after my first failed one. The reference is in sepia. I'm struggling with drawing sheep. The photo reference is really a magnificent drawing but I failed at making it look awesome. Sometimes I really yearn for this kind of lifestyle. Travelling in a foreign land with animals, breathing and living life. Slowing down and taking a look around. Life can really be simple yet fulfilling. There are things that I want to achieve this life but sometimes one just long for more than materialism. The question is how to make the most out of everyday.

Exposure and experience is great and I long to travel the world. Anyway, dodge tool is bad for this one. There are a few marks left from doing so. Seeing big shapes in a photo is very important. I think I really need to work on human and animal anatomy. The man and sheep look not so convincing. 

Zoo trip

My mum got five free passes to the zoo so I thought why not. Free animal drawing. It was raining the whole day so I didn't get to see many animals and they were pretty fast so I couldn't stand there and sketch and all. I'm a slow-speed artist so it is pretty challenging to draw moving animals.

So we finally sat down to watch a seal show. I hope you can see that black stuff in the middle is a seal. HAHA.

While waiting for the elephant show to start I started to draw people sitting in front of me. This is pretty embarrassing as the mum beside me was telling the daughter to check out my drawing and complimented how well it is when it's actually looks kinda decent to me.

My brother said that I should draw stationary objects as it will be easier, which I did.

I was trying to draw the animals and watch the show at the same time. The elephant is not moving that fast but I am that slow so I messed up. Haha. This is the only animal I drew sadly. It was like a family day event so we waited for the lucky draw and had our lunch. (we didn't win by the way)
