Illustration Friday, Prehistoric...

IF's word this week is Prehistoric. While a tree sloth is not prehistoric, they certainly did have relatives that were. This cold snap (in FL) made me think of slothful movement, slow...., even though I do enjoy this colder weather! I used as my model a photograph from Muybridge's Animal Locomotion. Because you certainly wouldn't find any sloths hanging around in this weather. Hand drawn by me, in graphite.

Cricket takes a stretch....

Cricket enjoys a nice stretch after a relaxing nap. She becomes the long cat.
