Drawing at the Museum
 |
| Whitetail Deer from the Museum of Natural History |
Years ago, I took a great class at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. We studied animal anatomy from the diaramas after the museum closed. I returned every Tuesday for 18 months to draw and study the animals exhibits.

| Red Fox was drawn from a recorded nature show |
My wife, Kim, used to make VCR tapes of any animal shows on television. I used to run these in slow motion so that I can draw from them.
 |
| Canada Goose was drawn from the backyard |
This led to sketching at zoos, which led, in turn to drawing in the field at places such as Yellowstone National Park and even my backyard.

My last post talked about my many months of drawing at the American Museum of Natural History. This was a wonderful experience that helped my drawing skills and knowledge of animal anatomy. Also, the experience was so much fun. To visit the museum's website go to http://www.amnh.org/
