Animal Encounters

​Think about an animal you’ve noticed recently — it could be a bird outside your window, a pet, or an animal you saw on a walk or trip. Spend 15–30 minutes capturing its movement, sound, or personality.
You can:

• Sketch its shape or silhouette
  
• Experiment with textures to show feathers, fur, or skin
  
• Add small details that tell a story about the animal’s environment
  
• Or combine layers to capture how it moves or interacts with the space around it
  

The goal is not realism, but observation and playful interpretation — let the animal guide your hand and imagination.
