San Francisco Zoo 08/06/2014

Another batch from the monthly San Francisco Zoo free day. This time, I got to mob up with a bunch of other artists. Super fun!


While we were gathering at the cafe, I went over to sketch the flamingos and discovered there were a bunch of baby ducklings too.


I'm still trying to capture the fast-moving grizzly bears. Their 11:30 breakfast rampage served as a good backup meeting point.


Green-winged macaws and the obligatory peccary check-in.


Everyone enjoyed drawing the majestic and highly sketchable Gauhati. Wish I'd left room for his feet!


Today's Animal Resource Center show and tell: Tortoises, tortoises, tortoises! And a turtle and a little snake.


Ring-tailed lemurs, naturally.


We wrapped up at the giraffe barn for the traditional 4:30 feeding.


And finally, post-zoo snacks at the Bashful Bull Too. To illustrate some obscure artistic point I was obliged to draw Sasha Roukina's milkshake.
