They look so strong! These are really fantastic sketches. How long do they take on average? Do you stare at them and then draw from the memory, or do you watch and draw simultaneously?

I love how you capture their essence with such simple movement.

Hi lompoc42

:)

Theses sketches were done pretty quickly. Each of them probably only taking a couple of minutes.
Usually I try to watch something while I'm sketching it. But I think that you end up drawing from memeory too, since not all animals sit still.
Another option it to use refernece video. That way you can watch it over and over.

Very cool! I've always struggled with line simplicity. Usually when I try to do a quick sketch it gets so muddled that it ends up looking more like a big black squiggle than a sketch.

I always learn a lot from looking at good examples. Keep'em coming!

p.s. I love your blog
