Sketches of Animals

     For Sketches of animals, you do not have to go to the forest to take pictures of wild animals. These animals can be seen in zoos or even in circuses. Go there and observe their exteriors and their movements, their movements, carefully and closely. If possible, sketch immediately, pets such as dogs, cats, cows, oxen, horses, etc. are readily available nearby. They should also be drawn in as many different positions as possible. Although the basic organs are the same, not all animals or birds look the same. Carefully look at what makes the difference between them. The reason why an animal or bird is different from another is the characteristic of that animal or bird. This feature should be explored, observing that the cow's foot, deer's foot, tiger's foot, and dog's foot are all completely different from each other. They are all just 'animals' so not all of their organs are the same as those drawn from a mold. The same thing with birds. We went to find out why the swan's rubab does not come in the duck, comparing the two, that the difference between them is noticeable at every inch. This is a surefire way to increase the power of observation.

 The big body of the bull and its vigorous movements, as well as the sattvic expressions in the eyes of the cow, its small horns, and the smallness of its body, should be taken into consideration.  

Deer and sambar are more beautiful and graceful than any other animal, they should be seen in the picture as well. But as they are very shy and move a lot, it's very difficult to draw them while watching them live.





Even in animal sketches, the feeling of the animal should be reflected while sketching. If you imagine a tiger roaring it shows the power and anger. The injured animal or bird shows an expression of fear. For practice animal sketching the best and ideal animal in the wild is a monkey.
