Duck
Here is a duck, as requested by my friend Holly! A khaki campbell duck to be precise! There are a surprising amount of duck breeds. My Mum owns white khakis, so thats what I've drawn. I couldnt help but make the duck look a bit clumsy/caught off guard. When you own ducks, you cant help but see them as any other way, every duck we own gets itself worked up and doesnt think straight!

Panda Bear
One of my best and oldest friends, Sammy Large, requested this- a Panda Bear! I love bears, I think they're my favourite animal. I like how frumpy and slightly goofy bears are, not in an obvious way, but they lack grace and I really like that haha! I actually didnt want to give this panda eyes, I wanted to keep them black, I think it emphasizes their goofyness! I hope you like it Sammy! :D

Mosquito
Oh dear, oh dear, it's been almost two months! I've taken the liberty to rename my blog 'The not-so-Daily animal'.
This thing that a lot of people nowadays are calling 'life' popped up and distracted me 0_0
But I'm back now, and raring to go! I still have a load of requests to get through ^_^ This was requested by Lewis Knight, a friend on twitter. Haha fantastically he requested not that I draw a mosquito, but that I draw a mosquito with a monocle (I also added top hat and glass of blood). This was really fun =3
Hopefully tomorrow there will be a new animal! *_*

Rhino Iguana
Okay so maybe I should start calling this blog the 'Weekly Animal' haha!
I've been super busy recently with social and work stuff, oh dear.
Anyway, here is a Rhino Iguana. I never realised there were so many different kinds of Iguana, there's quite a big variety :) I did draw one last week, but he didnt feel iguanaish to me (I always recall my next door neighbors iguana lazing around on his tree log thing, thus I've done that here).
The iguana was requested by Kate Holden, a comic artist ^^ Her work has always been right up my street, straight forward and charismatic! You can check it out here:
Only a few more requests to gom then I can go back to drawing my own choice in animals ;)

White Tiger
Today I've drawn a White Tiger. White tigers aren't a whole separate species of Tiger, you simply get white versions of the 6 current types of Tiger!
This was requested by my good and old friend Amanda, you can see her artwork on deviantart here:
I realised today that Tigers are one of my favourite animals XD It was really fun to draw, I wanted to emphasise their big paws and chunky bodies! In all the photos I saw they seemed pretty grumpy or sleepy too, so I wanted to keep that expression :P
This picture was drawn in charcoal too. I had to draw the picture about 5 times over before I got it right, but I love using charcoal <3

Raccoon
Today I drew a Raccoon, as requested by Aut Mercurial, a web comic artist =3
You can read her web comic on SJ here:
I didnt realise until I looked at the raccoon image in the animal encyclopaedia I'm borrowing (to be fair only one image) how colourful raccoons are. I decided to try show off all those different colours.
Here are some of my favourite cartoon Raccoons:
