Hipposketches

by     6 Comments    Posted under: Assorted Scribblings

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.

  • 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!
