Toucan Studies by vantid

Toucan Studies

I spent a day at the Natural History Museum sketching a couple different couple specimens of keel billed toucans. The ink sketch is of the study skin in the photo.

It's usually pretty easy to draw from museum specimens yourself; just email them to set up an appointment! "Hey I am an artist and I would like to work from the museum collection." Museums are funded by the public for the public!

    How awesome is that! I would have never thought about asking a museum. How long did you get to stay there?
