Wild Child has recently started a weekly Sketch Club with a prompt. This week's was 'Road Trip'. I had a lot of fun doing research and creating this little image of a family on the Oregon Trail.

Gorilla Sketches
A colleague took a video of some gorillas while visiting his local zoo, and I asked if I could sketch from it. The interactions between the gorillas were fascinating to study.

This character jumped out while I doodled today. I'm not sure who she is or what she's holding, but she seems a bit worried about it.
