Strange looking beasts aren't they! They are very chunky and always seem to have big noses! These are all fabulous but, for me, the best of them is the bottom one of the cat sleeping on sheet 4, it's a corker!

I was going to google pictures of them then decided not too as your rendering of the beast will be spot on. What powerful looking head it has and mean looking face. If it was sat by my pond its welcome to my fish as wouldn't go out scare it off :cat:

Thank you all!
Back in the zoo yesterday, hoping to invest my time studying a very attractive feline species, the Fishing cat, a newcomer to the zoo..It wasn`t easy at all, maybe the most difficult modell I`ve ever had, I experienced many frustrating moments, but finally I did finish something ... Attached few of the failed attempts, and the finished sketch..It`s not my best one but at least it is something!

Your work is always to completely accomplished Paschalis that it's nice to see some of the steps along the way. In fact I always enjoy that with most artists. some may seem failures to you but to me they're all exciting to see.

I spend this morning once again in the zoo, but this time I tried my luck after a year with the fascinating huge Indian Rhino.I did start my attempts with the nearby Malayan tapir , but my attention has been attracted soon by the female Rhino, but I had to give up soon since she has been tranfered in to an other room by the zookeepers in order to clean up the place.
Luckily the male, "Nico", has been proved to be the ideal model today , posing for me for more than two hours...

Love your zoo sketches, amazing what you can do with just some black lines!

Another great job on a zoo model! The rhino is superb. Even with him posing for two hours, I can't imagine doing a piece anywhere near as good as what you've done here. Great work.

Always a pleasure to see, and a spur to me to get out to our own zoo. Happy holidays.
