Self Portrait: Update
I posted an earlier version of this self-portrait last week, but after critiques from my professor and from a trusted friend I have updated it. I like it a lot more now, and I hope my professor will too when I turn it in tomorrow.

Animal studies for Drawing II Final
These animal studies were done for my Drawing II final. My assignment is to take three or more species that I drew from life at Sarasota Jungle Gardens (a small zoo in town) and combine them into a fantasy creature. I am doing a take on flying fish by combining two birds with two fish.
I am using Catalina Macaws, Violet Turacos, Common Koi, and an Albino Catfish to combine into this creature (although the eye study on bottom right is from a Blue and Gold Macaw. These were done with ballpoint pen sketches with colored pencil on top.
I am presenting my final project of this as though it is a page from a Victorian British Explorer's travel log. I'm really excited about doing this project, but I need to get my concept completely fleshed out soon, so I've been putting a lot of time into it recently.

Bird Skeleton studies
These are some bird skeleton studies I did yesterday. The two wings, the leg, and the skull with vertebrae were drawn from a chicken skeleton. The other three skulls were drawn from reference photos found on skullsite.com. They are each labeled with the bird they came from.
The text is a collection of various notes on parrots I found from books and the internet while drawing these. I am aware that the Macaw list is incomplete.
This is an additional Macaw skull that I did later that same day in a different sketchbook.
