Drawing 2; aka the class of zoo visits and lots of pastel dust

homework assignment: graphite study of a white object (or in this case baby powder):

pastel studies at the Ringling museum:

We spent a good majority of our final classes at the local zoo (not much of a selection of animals, so I use the term "zoo" loosely). Our final assignment was to pick an animal, study it, and the create a character from it. I chose flamingos, and really wanted to portray their jerky, skiddish movements, thus "Paranoid Perry" was created using photoshop. 

...and by the end of this assignment I was pretty sick of drawing flamingos
