Animal Sketches for “Future”
Shaenon: Jeff keeps giving me hard things to draw. How the heck am I supposed to know what a pika(Ochotona princeps) looks like? Oh, right, the Internet.
Channing: I have to assume that the sting of my pitching an unfamiliar animal to Shaenon was at least slightly ameliorated with the realization that pikas are REALLY FRIKKIN’ ADORABLE.
I know this is a cartoon and all, and thus we’re all here for the stylized characters, but I have to take a moment to say that I also love Shaenon’s naturalistic drawings as seen in the reference sheet here.
@Shaenon: Think of it as making you grow as a person and as a cartoonist. Or an excuse to draw something other than ur-gerbils.
Three cheers for psycho zombie pika!
Those are some pretty great animal drawings.
