sometimes I think about that natural history museum I went to in like 2012 that had some computers you could use for interactive dinosaur things but the interactive dinosaur program was so old they were running it on a windows 4 emulator. the computers had to be like 8 years old, which is pretty old for a computer, but even they were too young to handle this program. and it was a great interactive dinosaur thing.
my inventory series - what should I draw next? 🌿 prints
Some slightly older drawings, here, they're sketches I drew at the Dublin Natural History Museum. I love that place! I visit it every time I'm in Dublin, ever since my dad first took me there. It can be slightly creepy considering the number of unbelievably old skeletons they have on display... but it's great for studying animal anatomy, and drawing's one way of paying respects to these creatures long since departed. I might upload a few more, maybe.
This one's also fairly old... I think it was my first time sketching using a pen. It's so much trickier, given how permanent your marks are compared with pencil. This seems a bit messy as a result, but oh well, I'm still pretty happy.
Haha, I just draw birds, don't I? They do have a lot of amazing birds near the entrance to the NHM, mind, so it's hard to venture past without succumbing to the urge to scribble.
Meerkat! This one's a bit more recent, I drew it a little over a year ago. I have an unintelligibly blurry phone photo of the fellow in question here, if you'd like to (cough) compare the meerkat.
Peregrine Falcon! This is my most recent NHM drawing, I did this around half a year ago. Hopefully I'll have some more animal sketches to upload after the next time I visit Dublin.
