I've learned a lot in my natural history illustration course. We studied flower anatomy and learned how to describe and sketch flowers and leaves. We learned how to give methodical peer reviews. This approach is very helpful when critiquing one' s own art work as well. In the last couple of weeks, we learned about animal anatomy and how to draw animals. I chose to draw a squirrel. Although the course ends tomorrow, the University of Newcastle stated that they plan to offer Drawing Nature, Science and Culture: Natural History Illustration 101 again in 2017.
