So, today's drawing is brought to you by Sweet Enemy. She picked it and I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it was really hard. After completing this, I now know why there aren't a great deal of zebra, or zebra-based creatures in comic books. MAN, I'd hate to have to replicate a stripe pattern in panel after panel. So, if you are missing the zebra or zebra-based characters in my work, now you know why. The cool thing about the
book I'm using is that when they put eighteen zebras next to each other, you can really see how individual and exquisite the stripe patterns are.
I'm re-learning how to place something in the page when drawing form life or a photo. Our old drawing teacher at MECA, Al Gardener, would joke about students starting on the left and then having to cram the rest of the figure into the right hand side of the page.
With very little more ado, here is a zebra:

PS recently learned about a zebra-donkey hybrid called a zonkey. lol
Nice one.
