I added color in Photoshop to the toned paper drawings. I'm liking this look.

These are more of the sketches from reference gathered at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. 

hmm . . .what book should I read today?

More drawing on toned paper with prismacolor pencils. I'm trying out anthropomorphizing animals more using reference. 

I pushed these sketches a little bit and tried to add a bit more life and expression to them. I like the way they turned out.

I recently went to Los Angeles Museum of Natural History. I was planning to sketch animals and bones. . and I did a little bit. But the halls they have the stuffed animals in are dark (with lit displays) and I couldn't see the paper. So I took pictures and did the sketches at home. 

This is from a seal display. There were some seagulls off on the left side. I will be posting more drawings from my reference gathering trip to the museum. 

I'm not working on a project with these right now, I'm just generally interested in drawing animals and this is a good place to get reference. 

This is Tuscan Red and White Prismacolor pencils on toned paper.
