I've never really drawn a cat before. I've had a go or two using a cartoonish style, but not one where I've tried to get the anatomy and proportions right. This is neither a cat or dog, but kind of a cat, I guess. It's something close to a cheetah. This is the pen sketch:…

Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth. Their legs alone are taller than many humans. They can run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances, or cruise at 10 mph over longer distances. A giraffe's neck is too short to reach the ground. As a result, it has to awkwardly spread its…

Sitting by my work table one day, not quite knowing what to do, I started on a little doodle on my drawing paper. It started with some cars and people, then a palm tree and suddenly there was the ocean as well. It became clear that this was a drawing of one of those warm…

I've been reading a book about drawing techniques lately, and one of the assignments was to draw different types of trees. I got very inspired, and decided this would be a day dedicated to tree drawing. Learning to do it as well as possible. So I set to work. First by drawing quick sketches of…
