Sketching Excursion- Berlin's Museum of Natural History/Science

very nice drawings.

thank you very much!

Cool study @nadejdaalienor! I really need to make more time to study form from life. In the meantime, you should check out www.figurosity.com I just stumbled across it yesterday.

Thank you @kommienezuspadt, yeah it's really great for learning! Oh, very cool I'll have a look, thanks :)
