Zoo drawing adventure!

Hi guys! School is finally, slowly, coming to an end. Most important evaluations are done and the only thing that still weighs heavy on me is my big final end of the year presentation. But it'll be fine. I've scored good enough on all my classes to not screw that one up.

For our last drawing class, we went to our local zoo again! I thought I'd share some pictures of all the little, and not so little, creatures I came across!

Okay, this mister (or lady?) had seen too many horror movies. He was just lying there with his eyes closed until all of a sudden he opened his eye and just kept staring at us. It creeped the hell out of me.

Meerkats! I love meerkats c:

Oh and THIS alligator. He was just lying there with his giant jaw open. Was he laughing? Was he hungry? Was his jaw locked? I don't even know.

These hogs were so cool! They reminded me of the Lion King.

The giraffes were just being fed, so no good pictures :c but the baby giraffe was so cute!

Elephants! I love elephants! (I still sleep with a elephant plush every night Cx) This one was just playing around with water. Such a badass. There was also a little baby one, but I couldn't get any good pictures.. 

They also had a brand new butterfly garden, which are always so dreamy and relaxing. I wish I could have one right on my balcony. Anyway, this is probably where I would hang out all day if I were a butterfly. Right on those delicious fruits.

So pretty n.n

I didn't actually realize this butterfly was a see through one like we had been looking for until I saw this photograph -.-'

More prettiness!

Butterflies to-be! So cool.

This is one of my new favorite birds! This picture doesn't do their amazing color justice. They are SO BRIGHT.

You can see their vibrantness a little better here.

And of course a visit to my favorite part of the zoo: the aquarium. I love that place, especially the aquarium tunnel. The jelly fish are dreamy too (even though I'm terrified of them!).

Fishies everywhere!

And of course,some drawings! I didn't actually make these at the zoo, since it's literally impossible to draw there without people constantly looking at you and commenting on it or forming a giant hoard of kids around you, which is something my anxious self can't handle.

I was exhausted by the end of the day, but it was definitely a fun break from all the hard work!

Cute Gets & Cubs

Or whatever time of the day it is where you are :)

I took a little break from everything before class the other day to treat myself a little bit. I finally got the book I blogged about a little while ago, and it's so incredibly pretty! Now I'm dying to get the one about kimono's too.

Stitched cute cover

Pretty pattern n.n

Creatures of the night hidden in the tree!

I also couldn't resist this little 'blindbox' package and I got these two cuties to accompany all my other toys on my cabinet of cuteness.

Today we went to the zoo with class to draw and they had the cutest lion cubs!

They were just lazing around I felt like jumping right in there to cuddle them (don't worry, I didn't do it in the end.) I have to admit the zoo was kind of a disappointment for me. So many cages were empty OR so small I only felt sorry for the animals. And too many screaming children. TOO many. Ugh.

 

Lovey dovey sharks! They also had the most amazing GIANT sea turtle. I don't think I had seen one swimming around like that in real life before. It was so beautiful. And I LOVED the elephants! I can't stop drawing elephants now!

Still, I feel like my head is going to explode and I just want to crawl into my bed and drink vanilla flavored rice milk and eat peaches all day (my slowly growing obsessions). Assessment week is the worst. I want the next two weeks to be over already so I have room for more fun again.
