Taking a class called Scientific Illustration (with Peggy Macnamara who is amazing, look her up) at the Field Museum in Chicago. 

I’ve never taken a formal drawing class, so I was pretty excited for this. Kinda sad, since I’m sure most kids in my art school have taken formal drawing classes (you can see the differences between my scrawls and everyone pumping out these well refined drawings). 

Used a method called crawling. It’s a long process—I forced myself to take my time. First picture took me 2 hours maybe. I took a lot of breaks since I was so sleepy (had to wake up around 6:40 for a 9 am class :|), and it was freezing cold in the museum. I’m pretty darn proud of myself, since I can’t draw animals.
