Sketch Crawl Watercolors




I went sketch crawling today all by myself at Animal Kingdom. I did some gestures (all of which turned out like crap), and some watercolors, which turned out slightly better. I'm still not thrilled by them.. but I'm very indifferent, which scores better than my gestures. The Okapi and Golden Pheasant were done without any pencil drawing first: just pure, naked watercolor. 

Hee hee.. I said 'naked'.

The dinosaur is a sketch of a really cool DinoLand USA play area sculpture that I've always loved. It's a Corythosaurus, my favorite dinosaur!
