Drawing ‘Tuft’ The Giraffe

Sketch For Survival

Drawing Giraffe…

Hello you lot! Whoever ‘you lot’ may be. Maybe you are just one. Perhaps no one will ever read this rambling. Anyway….I wanted to quickly take you through my process of creating this giraffe drawing and the reasons why I chose it.

Another fluffy schnoz!! Is it ‘art’? Really Another fluffy schnoz!!

Is it ‘art’? 

Really it’s just scribbling. Scribbling in the right place. And besides… gridding’s cheating anyway, right?

I’m posting this purely in the hope that it remi I’m posting this purely in the hope that it reminds me to start actually living by it! 

Spinning lots of different sized plates, all of equal importance, whilst trying to make some time for normal life activities I hear people do like ‘sitting on the sofa for a while’ and ‘enjoying a bath’ (over rated in my opinion), is definitely something i’m a bit crap at at the moment. 

When it comes to drawing I definitely binge draw.  Usually works out but it put’s quite a lot of pressure on that one day to get it done and hope it doesn’t look shit! 

Let’s try consistency!

Once I think i’m done with a drawing i’ll take a photo of it and flick quickly between the source photo and the portrait photo…. Really great way of seeing which bits still need work! 

Sometimes I feel like I go a bit blind to the drawing and don’t trust what i’m seeing anymore, so this gives me a different lens to view through and helps me see things i’d missed!

Adopt Don’t Shop. 🐾 We have a new family pe Adopt Don’t Shop. 

🐾 We have a new family pet!! 🐾 

After 8 years roaming the streets, a middle aged tabby was handed in to a nearby vets.  He was microchipped but unfortunately the previous owners were unable to take him back and so the race was on to find him a forever home. 

With cattery’s and rescue centres absolutely brimming to the edges, the nurses and vets spread the word that he was looking for a new home as they were unable to keep him at the practice any longer. 

The timing was perfect and now he is quickly settling in his new home with my parents! 

He is a success story, but thousands of animals are left in cages for months on end waiting to be saved. The older animals often get overlooked for the puppies and kittens and mistreated and abused animals will often have to be euthanised if rehabilitation and rehoming isn’y possible.

🐾 Adopting means you are saving a life; giving an animal a second chance with a safe and loving home. 

🐾 Adopting means you aren’t supporting cruel backyard breeders, often using one animal to breed continuously for financial benefit in bad conditions. 

🐾 Adopting usually means you will be safe in the knowledge the pet is healthy and has been assessed by a vet.

🐾 You will help prevent overpopulation and make space for another stray to be cared for

… and all of this is without mentioning the fulfilling feeling that you are just doing the right thing. 

Please consider checking out your local rescue centre before clicking on a dodgy online advert for puppies and kittens.

Cats have a circadian rhythm like humans (an inter Cats have a circadian rhythm like humans (an internal biological clock that guides your wake/sleep times). 

Cats are crepuscular - they experience two peaks of activity; at dawn and dusk. Hence why they seem to get the zoomies just as we’re about to sleep!

This one took a while to build up. I’m a sucker for being too light with my shading anyway… cue white cat anxiety and it takes me a LONG time to get the courage up to actually make some dark marks on the paper! 

For some reason I can’t settle at my desk at the moment seem to move around my flat to different spots. Here I managed to lay on the floor by the window for about 20 minutes until by back started complaining!
