Hipposketches
Some new friends are having a baby (is there something in the water?).
When I asked them to pick a cute animal for some baby gift art, they chose hippos.
Despite my original bogglement at the animal choice, I did a set of hippo sketch pages and promptly fell in love with their curvy, adorable bodies.
Sketch Pages of Love
The Actual Gift Art

Note to self – stop putting the entire sketchbook down on the scanner.
You can see a tiny hint of my next project peeking over the pink hippo’s shoulder. Whups!
Ohhh you totally delivered on the hippo adorableness :D
I love LOVE how you do their wrinkly little knees…and the fold of skin on the pink one’s hind legs is the BEST THING EVER.
I also love the sketch of the hippo floating tied to a balloon. To me, he looks like “oh ho hum, just another lazy balloon floating day~~”

Yay baby art!
@Courtney
And what else is a hippo supposed to do on a particularly slow Tuesday?
GRAZE?
Pshaw.
@Tristina
I do seem to be turning baby art into a thing, don’t I? *grin*
It could be a lucrative side business. Just saying…. ;)
Then I can brag I have a Tami “Original” – so there, hah!

@Tristina
You can already brag that! =] <3
