Driveway Dinosaurs
Yesterday we went to the dollar store and saw some chalk on the shelf. Then we thought to ourselves “Why not do a post in chalk?” Dinosaurs came to mind. Mohammad drew a Raptor while Shelley drew a Stegosaurus
UBC Farm
Mohammad’s sister was volunteering at the UBC Farm so we thought that we would visit and draw at the same time. The only animals are chickens but there is a a lot of plant life and some beautiful flowers and berries.
Kew Park
Shelley just moved to West Vancouver and her parents found a tinny park that is a few minutes and two very steep hills away from her house. Today was just a really quick and relaxing time in the shade.

All of our pictures couldn’t fit on one post, so here is some more.
Anomaly 2012
We are back at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum at UBC for a special event, Anomaly. It is a event showcasing concept art from artists in North America. Mohammad was a volunteer and drew when he had free time, while Shelley hanged out and drew in her big sketchbook all day. One of the events was a drawing session with 2 live birds and Terryl Whitlatch, an accomplished scientifically and academically trained illustrator who is known for her concept art for STAR WARS (she is so cool).

Vancouver Aquarium
We have always wanted to go to the Aquarium to draw, and we decided that we better go now before school takes over our lives. Shelley started the day out in blue pencil, then went into pen, did a few more in normal pencil, and finishing the day with her set of alcohol based markers. Mohammad switched between pencil and pencil crayon until his last drawing, in which he borrowed Shelley’s pen set.
Ambleside Park
This is one of Shelley’s favorite beaches in Vancouver because it is long and sandy, it is easy to get to, and there is free parking. Ambileside is actually in West Vancouver. As you can see, we were sitting near the Lions Gate Bridge, so we had a great view of Stanley Park from across the water. Today Mohammad focused on his pencil crayons, while Shelley did a warm up sketch in pencil, and then moved on to dry pastels.
Granville Island
School is back, so we decided to do something near school. Granville Island is a busy place, epically in the summer. Luckily we found a nice quiet spot to draw. Mohammad drew in pencil, and Shelley used white conte and pen on blue paper.
False Creek
We found a shaded and quiet spot by the sea wall under the Cambie Street Bridge. It’s a good spot to draw the water and passing kayakers. Mohammad drew in pencil, and Shelley in pen.
Lonsdale Quay
This is the North Vancouver side of the SeaBus. It usually has a great view of the city, but today there was a cargo ship blocking our view. Shelley worked in pen while Mohammad did quick drawings in pencil. We left early because it started to rain.
Cates Park
We go to places in North Vancouver a lot because Shelley grew up and lives there. Cates is a quiet park with a nice view of the water. Mohammad decided to use a nib pen and ink, while Shelley stuck to her brush pen.
