Drawing Animals in the Wild with Sheelah Tolton

We will be walking the entirety of the 5km loop, and dependent on the visibility of our models, will stop to draw and learn how to accurately represent something that almost never sits still! Topics will include understanding anatomy, how to use proportion to create identifiable body shapes, simplification of forms, foreshortening, and textural mark making for textures such as horns and fur.
