06:21 pm - Zoo Sketch Crawl! Today I attended a Zoo Sketch crawl at the Oakland Zoo; organized by Jeff Jackson, a SCBWI member; though I don't think this was officially an SCWBI event. Anyways, it was SO much fun, and today the weather was perfect (not too hot, not too cold: as it has been unfortunately for the last two of these events). Below are some of my sketches for the day.
I decided to start out slow, drawing something that couldn't move too fast :) Like a tortoise. Ha ha. Later on in the day, when I was more awake, I drew this lion and the giraffe (which I think looks quite elegant sitting like that)
 
  
The "horned" frog is my favorite drawing for the day. The little frog next to him was SOOO tiny, I couldn't believe it. I should have brought some other colored pencils too because it was bright orange, and the "horned" frog was bright yellow. The last tree frog wasn't brightly colored, but he was cute too; olive green with a yellow stripe. Hmm, I guess I could color them in now, but would that be cheating? Not having done it all on location? Probably not, but I'm feeling lazy. Can you tell I like frogs? :)   
This was a miniture goat of some kind that had such a big belly it looked pregnant, and when I was drawing it I could see much of his?/her? back feet, so this drawing looks a little wierd to me, but I like the face. The rest was meercats, zebras, lions and giraffes in repose. Can't wait till the next Zoo Crawl (which got its inspiration from Sketch Crawl, another fun thing to do: http://www.sketchcrawl.com/)

Hi Woody, Sorry you missed it too :( It was a ton of fun and this time the weather was absolutely perfect. Hopefully, you can make it to the next one, it should be in November and it's at the Oakland Zoo again.
