Here is another animal drawing that I did on my free time to research a style for a children's book that I want to complete.  A little known fact about panda's is that they have SIX toes.  They have 5 with claws and one padded toe without a claw.  Strange but true.  At first I had the panda holding a shoot of bamboo but I wanted to keep an all blue and Payne's Grey color palette.  Plus the cub just makes this way more endearing and cute.  Thanks for looking and I hope you like this new addition.

Like the previous post of the Giraffe, this Gorilla drawing is another drawing for my secret children's book idea.  Again, just exploring a fun style that emphasizes line and shape. The color is pretty simple overall and I may make some adjustments.

I have an idea for a children's book that I am experimenting with but first I want to play a bit with some Photoshop brushes and settle on a style I think will work with my idea.  I want to create a look that is polished but quick to draw.  The most fun part about drawing from animals is that the you really get to focus on shapes dynamics and the tangents of the line work since you are not preoccupied with a new concept or design.

This is an old environmental concept I did a few years ago.  Throughout my career as a concept artist I have been hired onto MMO's where the quantity and demand for character and environmental concepts is huge.  Since there is so much work to be done most work on the projects that I have worked on are spit into the character team and environment team.  I love conceptualizing characters but I can and want to focus on environments on future projects.
