I recently visited the aquarium and exhibits at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. They hold a weekly ‘happy hour’ event in the evening that is adults only, and you can buy drinks and cocktails to take around the museum with you.
I took my sketchbook around instead. It was awkward to draw because there were very few places to sit and still have a view of any exhibits, so I only ended up with a single page of sketches.
I liked the albino alligator a lot. Unlike the fish, he was sleepy and still. Even that starfish I doodled moved around more than he did. And the gazelle thing didn’t count, because it was taxidermied.
I love those funky seahorses that look like seaweed. Excellent job capturing their alienness even in such a brief sketch.
