I read somewhere it is supposed to help with confidence, and generally just improving with art, to draw with pen. 

 Here are some sketches of Marjane Satrapi when I saw her give a lecture in my home city.  It was a very inspring and exciting lecture to attend!  I never would have dreamed I would get to see this amazing woman in person!  I admit I was quite far away, so more of her likeness in the sketches was drawn from what I’ve seen in Persepholis

Since such an exciting subject is not always available, I have taken to practicing pen and animal sketches with my cats!  Nothing too exciting, but I hope it will help me in the long run ^_^

I recently signed up for a zoo membership, meaning I can go as many times as I want for the price of only 5 actual trips!! This will do WONDERS for my animal drawing praciting!!

Here are some of my first zoo-trip-of-the-year sketches. Still working on getting familiar with the animals before I do any real caricaturing.

My next portfolio project is to work on my animal drawings and storyboard skills. These are sketches I made while I expored ‘possums and their ugliness! As the story is developing, it seems Australian possums will be in the mix as well! Stay Tuned!
