This week&#8217;s page is inspired by some of the displays featured in Michigan&#8217;s Museum of Natural History. The sketch on the top is of a T-Rex skull, and the one on the bottom is of a mastodon skeleton. I rarely take the time to add line art to my sketchbook sketches, but looking at a fully polished ballpoint pen sketch is always so satisfying. In hindsight, I think that I could have done more with the crosshatching to really build up the contrast, but I am still pleased with the final page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t taken the time to explore the Natural History Museum yet, I highly, highly recommend it! The cafe lobby and halls make for great study spots, and the exhibits themselves are very interesting- even if you aren&#8217;t a big history nerd : )<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1835\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/natural-history-museum-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26233\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.716796875;width:728px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/natural-history-museum-edited-scaled.jpg 1835w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/natural-history-museum-edited-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/natural-history-museum-edited-734x1024.jpg 734w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/natural-history-museum-edited-768x1072.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/natural-history-museum-edited-1101x1536.jpg 1101w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/natural-history-museum-edited-1468x2048.jpg 1468w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1835px) 100vw, 1835px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all!
