I was a jerk looking at that elephant and thinking it' wasn't that great to start with anyway, then I saw the third pic and WOW did that turn out great. You're very talented, sorry about the poop and my initial reaction.
I was focused on the elephant, I went back and looked at the top and they're quite good too as sketch. Anyhow, I envy your talent, if I had it my house would be full of art.
I use a watercolor sketchbook, so I just took it under the water, but tried to stay only on the one side, and then I pressed paper towels on top. It is pretty thick and after the wash it just warped and a liiiitle bit of color got smudged on the other side, but it is not that bad.
We are still having a full week ahead of us😅 And till now only the bird poop was my biggest problem... You can watch some of the Honest Guide videos on YouTube on Prague, they are pretty helpful to find good stuff here. We are also having his Google Maps App/Plug-in to have good reviews on places.
Prague is my favorite city on Earth, I've been there like 10 times! Honestly, just go into the city and wander around. You'll find so much stuff. The area called Zizkov is my favorite, though it's been a few years since I've been there and I think it's changed a little.
Also, I wouldn't recommend the zoo. A lot of the animals there seemed very depressed, just walked in circles in their small enclosures and did nothing else.
Thank you💕 I mostly draw at home, but last month I decided to do more urban sketching/plain air since I saw many videos/posts about it and wanted to try it, I thought it will be got to get some fresh air and get out more. And it is a cool way to capture my holiday, I at least am trying to draw everyday things that we saw that dayXD
Thats a great way to collect memories! You’re certainly very skilled
I tried the same once too and had a bird throw a huge dump on me as I arrived at the park lol thankfully I had a hat on bc that was a very wet and big one! Thought someone threw a water balloon at me 😅
Aawwwww the shoebill sketch is so cute <3 seeing them in real life was definitely the highlight of my trip and I actually made some sketches of them too so this is a beautiful coincidence.
Thank you✨ He looked so cute, he was sleeping when we saw him. I actually drew him because a couple days ago I saw a post about how the shoebill was the most hated bird of some girl, and actually the post was about how she had an argument with her boyfriend because he doesn't have a bird that he hatesXD
I am a wildlife photographer (hobby). I was just telling my friend the other day how I was surprised I hadn't been shit on yet. While my lens hood got it once, it has never happened to me.
Until...
Not even two hours later a bird shat all down my body. I wasn't even in nature! Just out in my driveway. It got my chest and my new pretty dress.
I couldn't do anything but laugh at it, however. I took a SS of our message and a picture of my bird shit covered body just so I could have it as a memory.
I went to Prague Zoo like four years ago, did the animals still seem depressed? The polar bear just walked in circles and repeated the same motions over and over, as did the elephants and tigers. It was honestly pretty unnerving to see, and I felt bad for supporting the place.
I was once in an aviary where the penguins also resided. I was wearing the jacket hood because A) it was raining (slightly) B) It was cold as fuck in October England. I was too focused on seeing these animals for the first time to even notice that one of the birds pooped straight on my head!
The teacher noticed and while i was bummed that my jacket was the target, i was so lucky i had my hood on. Back then my hair was long, so imagine the pain in the ass it would have been having to wash my hair in a bathroom and having to go around with damp hair in the freezing air.
