So, I'm intending on making weekly zoo visits to work on a portfolio. I've been drawing animals for a while, but I have only recently been working on productively drawing animals (as in I'm more keen on capturing the basic shapes to create a form and then add the details... they move so quickly sometimes) Each drawing took anywhere from 30-60 seconds, so they're a little rough.
Elephants!! They were a lot of fun, but I should've drawn them in thumbnails so they weren't taking up a bunch of space on the page. But oh man! To watch them walk and put massive amounts of weight on each foot as they slowly waddle away.

The red wolves were also a challenge since I couldn't really see them as they were laying in tall grass... and turned away from me most of the time. They must've known I was drawing them!
