Shaking Off The Rust...Oakland Zoo and Faces From Class

Greetings. After a long absence, I am posting something new, I know it's not composition stuff as promised but that will get up here soon, I hope nobody has been holding their breath...
Anyway, I went to draw with the students at the Oakland Zoo. We are just covering gestural skeletons now, thus the lack of outer form. It's been a long while but here are some of the results...it's a wonder students take classes with me, it was a pretty terrible drawing day for me. They are very patient. Thanks students! The weather was beautiful so it made for just a wonderful day to TRY and draw animals.Top: meerkats, bottom: (clockwise from left) zoo entrance, sun bear, zebra, and a chimp.

Also, we had the Storyboarding midterm this week so while the students tested, I drew these unrecognizable drawings of them (see below). I won't include their names here to further insult them, but I just have to say my students are STILL cooler than yours.
Thanks for dropping by.
