I decided to draw this one because i was surfing through the web and i came upon a website that showed a photograph of a massive Bullfrog. Well i got inspired by its size and its unique skin texture. I used many drawing techniques to get the right textures in this pencil drawing. Obviously my main focus was to get as much detail as possible on the eye.

When i first saw this gecko i was amazed by its color. Their colors are so vibrant and not like any other color nature. Here is a brief description on these tiny little animals. The Tokay Gecko is the second largest gecko species measuring 30–40cm (11–15 inches) for males, and 20–30cm (7–11 inches) for females, with weights of 150–300g (5–10 oz).

There are two types of camels. The Bactrian, which has only two humps and the Dromedary which has one hump. The Bactrian camel is much shorter and can endure much more extreme temperatures, from hot weather in Iran to freezing temperatures in Tibet. Its wool is much finer than the Dromedary. A male is called a bull, a female is a cow and a baby i called a calf. When calfs are born they weight 40-50kg but when fully grown they can weigh up to 600kgs. These animals can live up to 50 years and reach their full size by the age of 2.

Well here is an adorable rabbit? Thats how others see rabbits, as adorable,fluffy,cute animals. Not me, they freak me out. They're recognized by their long ears and their big teeth. For some reason I'm scared that they'll bite me and its gonna really hurt, especially with those teeth. I've never seen anyone get bitten by one, but that crosses my mind every time someone grabs one or i have one close.

This owl is gorgeous, and there is no doubt why its called great. This owl is one of the largest owls, measuring 18 to 25 inches and have a wingspan of 3 to 5 feet. It can be easily recognized the tufts that it has on its head, resembling horns, to others it looks like cat ears. Did you know that the female great horned owl is larger than the male.

For me this was a great drawing to work on. For the simple fact that they are my favorite type of bird. They are such incredible animals and stand above other birds for so many reasons. I think i've watched every nature show that has ever been made on owls, they fascinate me. They are not like other birds, let me talk a bit about them so you can understand why its my favorite.

I have done several drawings of primates and i have to say to say that every time i draw them they are the only animals that i can feel emotion. Emotions and feelings that us humans show in our eyes. Its unbelievable how expressive these animals are and how close they are to us. The only thing missing from them is to be able to talk. They are such incredible animals, especially gorillas, but unfortunately they are hunted and killed for the black market. Its just sad that there are people who cannot see the beauty in these animals and don't think of the consequences of their actions. Once we lose them we will not be able to give future generations the opportunity to see one of the most incredible animals on this planet.

The iconic bald eagle. This incredible creature stands for many things and has inspired courage around the world. Many stories have been told about the bald eagle i find it them so interesting what they represent to different cultures. There is an old legend that all eagles can look straight into the sun. According to the translation of St. Augustine "The sun invigorates the eyes of eagles, but injures our own." Athapaskan have portrayed the eagles as taking away famine from people.

When i was a kid i remember how i used to love wolves and still do. I remember that for Halloween i would put on a werewolf mask and would go scare whoever i could find on the streets. I was the werewolf for three years straight. I loved the wolf back then because of its ferocity. Not only do i love them for that now but because of its beauty,intelligence and mystery. I would watch anything on television that had anything to do with wolves. They are incredible animals. This drawing that i did was of a gray wolf, also known as a timber wolf.

A king is nothing without his queen. Well the lioness is to the lion as the queen is to a king. The lioness has been given the title and has been recognized through mans existence as the pinnacle of hunting prowess. They are main bread makers you can say.
