Based on my series Around the World in 80 Trees (in which we spent a year traveling around the globe by region and sketching interesting, weird, iconic, or beautiful trees and tree-like plants), this is a new series based on animals—we’ll travel the world and learn as much natural history as we can, plus master the art of quickly sketching birds, mammals, monotremes, and more!
No. 9: Oceania
What you’ll need: a multi-media sketchbook or an accordion booklet to sketch each animal, pen and / or pencil for our base drawings, and then watercolor or colored pencil to quickly bring them to life. A map of Oceania to sketch. Longtime “Around the World” series attendee Dorothea suggested this one (just be sure to acknowledge the source on your sketch): Simple Outline Oceania Map
TIP: I used a strip of heavy watercolor paper folded into four squares to create an “accordion” booklet to record my trees (8 total, 4 on each side). Hint: for animals go with larger squares, at least 4-5 inches.
