Zoo Animal Life Studies 3

Description

These are some life drawing sketches I made while on a trip to the zoo. This was the one rhino that was there. I've always liked the rhino at the Toronto Zoo because he acts like an artists model. He'll sit still for a few minutes, change positions, and stay still for a few more minutes, and repeat. It makes it so much easier to draw.

I really enjoy seeing this blocking (I think most prominent on the rear ends) and like, how I can actually see how it looks like volume (the uh...chest like area on the top, and the neck like area on the bottom) and I think it really helps seeing someone do life drawing like this. I've been constantly chastised for making sketches too sketchy when all it is is me feeling out the figure for volume and depth; I love seeing it being done right here!

Also, I think the detailing is really nice :3 yeah Rhinos must be pretty good models, I've always wondered what to do if the animal moves around a lot. Also, I wondered if zoos would permit artists setting up to draw...I guess they do though! lol
