Animal Ink Copic Marker and Gelly Roll Drawings

Animal Ink drawings, depicted using: Copic Marker, plus Gelly Roll pen and an ink fineliner.

Vanja van Eisden Is the artist whom created all of the illustrations on this page.  The following, is what van Eisden says is the inspiration for this body of work:

"I used the prompt list to match fitting stories to those prompts in the tv series "The Secret Life at the Zoo" about the animals at Chester Zoo in Great Britain."

I have three favourites here.  The first two drawings down.  The tortoises and the fish.  Love the animals and the way they have been showcased in these poses.  The last one is the capybara.  They are such sweet and gentle animals.  They exude calm and serenity.  That is the feeling I have always got, when seeing them on a video.

Plenty more favourites waiting for your to discover them and for them to remind you why we love them so much.
