Description Work has definitely slowed down. While I'm not sure what that means for me and my job, I've decided to make the most of the time between calls and duties. I stumbled onto the 100 animals challenge that posted... maybe at her Livejournal account. I can''t remember. It was a while ago... I was at work and just copied the list.

Anyway... I started drawing some of the animals on the list yesterday, and today I kept going. I finished 89 to 100 today.

So, here's that part of the list:
089. Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), 090. Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), 091. Aardvark (Orycteropus afer), 092. Llama (Lama glama), 093. Green Iguana (Iguana iguana), 094. Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), 095. Diplodocus, 096. Florida Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), 097. Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), 098. Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus), 099. California Leaf-nosed Bat (Macrotus californicus), 100. African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana)

Done on Kraft paper, with those handy Pilot drawing pens and my white pencil.

If you have any comments, advice, etc., I'd like to hear/read what you've got to say!

Thanks for looking at my drawings

btw: my favorites are the elephant, manatee, and the llama - so cute!

Thanks!

I love newsprint and Kraft paper, too. The feel of it under my fingers... or it might be because I like the way white pencils seem to stand out against it

lol -- there's nothing quite as scary as a blank, white piece of paper!

exactly! and the cure at least for me, is to make a few little elipses in the corner that way its allready desecrated and u can go on with your sketch free! lol.
