    Nice Andy.
    Your work is starting to remind me a little of Henrich Kley’s. That’s not a bad thing tho ;)

    Hey Andy, I love all of these animal sketches, so much life and movement! Where are you finding the references for them?

    Thanks Amanda! Kley is definitely one of my favourite draftsmen and a big influence, I guess it’s starting to show :)

    Hey Alex, thanks man! If you’re looking for some good reference of animals in motion, Getty images has some really nice clips, great for motion studies :)

    Awesome drawing! When you draw the animal in action, do you just go to the zoo and use them as reference. I just want to know more about your working process. If you don’t mind :)

    Cal: Cheers! Where I live it’s tough to get to the zoo too often, so when that’s not an option I find video reference the next best thing - it gives a much better sense of the action than still images :)

    Chris: Thanks man, I was definitely trying to capture the strength and force of these creatures, glad you liked them!
