Another Trip to the Museum Für Naturkunde!

Yesterday I felt the need to head over to the Museum für Naturkunde. A few months ago I had gotten their year pass, so I REALLY needed to go again! This time my friend Magda joined me. I was there a few hours before she arrived, and got a lot of bird drawing in. I'm collecting reference for a personal project I've started, and I will post details here later about it!

It's always a confidence booster when you draw here! People are so excited to see an artist in action, and it's fun to interact with them as well. A young girl came up to me as I was working and asked if she could take some pictures. It was so sweet! 

I'm hoping when the weather gets better to go to the zoo and draw alive animals. Though the Naturkunde museum in Berlin does amazing taxidermy work!

After moving I need to get back into the swing of things!

So after returning from my trip in the US I attended the excellent Schoolism Workshop in Berlin, and just this past week/weekend moved into our new apartment! I'm very excited to get everything unpacked and organized, but I also need to make time to do some work! :D 

I was drawing some photos from this site: http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/animal-drawing/
