ABSTRACT
People are just as much a part of the zoo scene as the animals. Sketch them as they watch the animals. While observing the animals at the zoo, look for the simple shapes and build on them. People are just as much a part of the zoo scene as the animals. Before a trip to the zoo or to just draw four-legged animals, take some time to look at an anatomy book on the skeletal makeup of the animals artist wish to draw. There are two basic points to be aware of. The first is some animals, for example, cats, whether large or small, have shoulder blades that rise up higher than their spine when the weight of the body is taken on the front legs. The second basic point to know is that there are animals whose spines have a permanent hump at the base of the neck that is formed by the shape of the spine.
