The first two pages are done in pencil and washes...then I switched over to a brown micro-tip felt marker. For highlites, I used white prismacolor pencil, and an opaque white watercolor. Not sure which tools I prefer...each has their advantages. Hope you enjoy!

Wow, excellent sketches! Makes me want to go to the zoo. :D
I'm Lin's friend and I have followed your artwork for many years from greeting cards to her own personal portraits. So glad to have found your web site. Wonderful work!
Hey, Fitz-Badger...thanks again for the nice comments. It was fun to see the new Tropical exhibit since I went out there last. Take sunscreen, if you go!
Hello, Bonnie..welcome to my blog! I'm flattered that you've been keeping track of my art all these years. Lin's a fun Sis-in-law...keep her in line up there! Hope you visit the blog often...I try to post something a couple of times a week.
Followed you over here from Justin Gerard's blog. Really nice sketchbook. You've made each of those animals your own. Great use of white as well. Keep posting and I'll keep checking back!

These sketch pages are amazing. I love the color you are using on this toned paper. great stuff. reminds me of James Gerney. If you have gotten to take a look at his Sketch work, it's beautiful.
Hey, Richard and Alex...welcome aboard! Glad you are enjoying my blog. I like working on the toned paper a lot...though I have a terrible habit of over-working stuff. Just need to keep stuff simple. Check back later!
