Here are Daily Drawings numbers 9 to 16 in my animal sketchbook. To me the notable difference is that I am exaggerating the animals more and giving them a bit more personality that was not in the original photos I referenced. I also have been playing with adding more color and some background textures to the work to make it read better.
Poodle… (A friend of artist Richard Becker)

Sea Lion… (from a photo taken last year in Monterey)

Baby Baboon… (taken at the Oakland Zoo)

Lion… (taken at the Oakland Zoo)

Red River Hog… (photo taken at the San Diego Zoo)

White Handed Gibbon – (taken at the Oakland Zoo) This guy is one of my favorites to watch since he is smooth and adept in his leaps and jumps and when he gets to the ground he walks on two legs like a human.

Flamingo… (from a photo taken at the Oakland Zoo)

I think it’s an Alligator…(taken at the pre-remodeled Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park)
