My Neighbors

I took a few minutes to mosey on over to the fence to visit with my neighbors. They weren’t particularly chatty.

Rhinoceros Sketches

I sketched a rhinoceros based on the image in the book The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals by Joe Weatherly.

Next I decided to sketch a closeup, on my own: no video, no book, no instructions. This isn’t as detailed as I wanted it to be. It was hard. Actually, they are all hard for me and take a lot of effort. I look forward to drawing this again, when I have more experience.
