Big Cat Day


Once a semester the school host's Big Cat Day, where the owners of one of San Francisco's large cat preserves comes and brings big cats for us to draw. It's pretty awesome. This semester they brought a cheetah (which is as tall as a shetland pony, those cats are HUGE), a lynx, and bobcat and a serval - a vicious little cat who would gladly bite the hand that feeds it. The baby bobcat moved around too much for me to get any decent drawings, but here are some fun life drawings of the other cats. The Cheetah:



The Lynx:


The tiny mighty Serval:

San Francisco Zoo

Went to the San Francisco Zoo on Saturday April 28th with my friend Ching-Yu from Figurative Concepts class and had a grand time drawing the animals.



















My personal favorites are the anteaters. Found out that the zoo owns three - a momma, a poppa and a baby almost the size of the momma.

Momma taking a stroll.


I saw the momma anteater bathe - something I had never seen before in all the years that I have visited zoos. Didn't even know they liked the water. She brushed her tail with her snout like a comb.

Poppa pacing around in his own enclosure. The area the Momma and Baby have is much nicer. It's too bad he does not have an enclosure that is as nice. His is all concrete.
