Zoo


The day we visited the zoo was so damn hot we couldn't stay more than an hour! We tried to keep to the shade which is exactly what most of the animals were struggling to do too! Even the Indian elephants were struggling with the heat! Too hot to do much sketching but I got these down-

Lovely elephant.
I'm never able to see a pachyderm without thinking of Bill Peet every single time.

Thanks fellas! Elliot, I just read Bill Peet's illustrated autobiography last week - it's great! Very inspiring & reassuring to read even a giant like Peet struggled like heck for most of his artistic career!

My favourite elephant drawings have got to be Heinrich Kley's.

Hola, great to hear from some Argentinian artists. I have lots more to put on here but little time to do it! It's been too long though so I hope to put something up this week. Thanks for your comments.
