Via @planina :
“Portraites of the inditchenous beestes of New Olland, undated drawing by Edward Lear, though likely sometime during 1831 to 1837 when the artist spent many months at a time recording the contents of the thirteenth Earl of Derby’s famous menagerie at Knowsley, near Liverpool”
Look at that dog.
Look at it.
Edward Lear published a self-illustrated book of limericks, "The Book of Nonsense", and it is wonderful.
If this is your current drawing level, grats, you're an artist <3
Oh! I have a fun art exercise following on from the post above, something that will hopefully provide a bit of liberation from the constant feeling of inadequacy :D
Let's all badly draw animals!
Pick any animal at all, and draw it badly. Use a reference if you want, but don't put too much thought into it. The point is that it should look unrealistic and ridiculous and even barely recognisable.
Tag with #badimals :D :D
