Partington’s Proficiency

Here’s two sketches I’ve done in the past week.  The first is a little girl who was screaming at her mum while I sat ten feet away at the Toronto zoo.  The second is Mike and our mutual friend Mark, both slaving away in a print studio at Sheridan.  
Below is my zoo portfolio I had to submit to my life drawing professor.  That day was freezing and in the middle of March break.  You could only imagine how many angry children there were at the zoo *cringe*.  I loathe the cold (I was miserable), and my drawings reflect that.  I’m a California girl at heart.  Enjoy.

Last week I spent two days at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto drawing animals.  Our life drawing class requires an animal portfolio.  My drawings range from two minutes to roughly fifteen minutes.  I can’t wait to go back next year.  Enjoy.
