Bird Skulls




A few pages of bird skull studies.  These are done from photos reference in a book of mine called
Skulls: An Exploration of Alan Dudley's Curious Collection.  It's probably one of my favorite animal anatomy books.

Insect Studies


A few studies from photo reference using a new quick sketching technique I learned.  The insects are from a cool little book I found over at Barnes and Noble Called 500 Insects: A Visual Reference by Stephen Marshall.  It's a cool little book with tons of great close up photos of a wide variety of bugs.  Definitely a nice quick reference for anyone looking to study insects or create a design based on insect anatomy.
