Observing different species of birds, animals and insects.
Trying to quickly capture their characteristics and personality is easier said than done.
These are some of the sketches I managed to do while we were exploring the zoo.
Otters - love to cuddle, family bond is obvious, their prey/predator status shows in their movements, quick darting movements and slow controlled movements, playful yet cautious, have they're personal precious items (pebbles)
Penguins - when on two feet constantly falling forwards, legs barely seem to make it under in time, waddles, as if it doesn't take much to tip them over, flippers out to side for balance,
graceful in water, full control, confident movements, fast!
Squirrel monkeys - seem aware how small they are, vulnerable, privately curious, shy, wraps tail around body for convenience and comfort, cocks head from side to side, you can see them observing things, sit bunched up tight
