I love to do little exercise sketches off photos of animals, just to play with brushes and try to "capture" it by brush stroke.

I take all the photos I base my work off of, unless otherwise noted. There are great photos on DA and FA whose takers allow others to use them to draw from so long as credit is given, and eventually I may branch out more and use them.

Someday I hope to take them and use them to benefit the zoos I visit, there is a lovely small free zoo near me and if I ever get up the courage, I would love to sell charity prints to donate more to their cause.

This is not my first account here, nor my main gallery, and I have been drawing anthros and animals for a few years now. I just use this little "hidden" gallery to exercise another style I sometimes dabble in, a more "free" style, one I do not let my anxiety strangle with the need for "perfection". Hence why sometimes my animals are a little off anatomy wise. I've been a long time ailed with anxiety and depression, so allowing myself a creative space where I can post the work I do when I need a break from the rest is quite fantastic.

Thank you for visiting :D
