100 Animal Challenge/ Math Final Today

Journal Entry: Mon May 12, 2008, 8:42 AM
I found something very interesting, that I will use to keep me occupied over the summer.

The 100 Animal Challenge was created by :iconalaitallon:

I have thought about it, and I decided that I am going to do each and every one with my tablet, how better to improve? My animals will be a mixture of anthro and actual animals, and they just might be colored, we will see.
>.<


Here is the challenge, and hopefully, I will start it soon!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Draw each and every one of the animals on this list. There is no time limit. It doesn't have to be in order, it doesn't even have to be anthro/humanoid. It doesn't even really have to be fully colored, it can be a pencil sketch if you'd prefer. Just give them a try. Not only will you push yourself in the process, you will learn about more of the amazing and exciting animals this world has to offer! Feel free to post this in your journal or webpage to show your progress, share it with friends, or simply use for inspiration. Some of these WILL be difficult, but you can do it! I tried not to make any of these so obscure that they wouldn't have much information or pictures of them. Some of these are also extinct, but all of them have artistic interpretations and pictures of their skeletons available on the internet or in books.
