Here I’ll share with you all, some drawings from my last visit to Barcelona’s Zoo.

It is strange to draw at the Zoo you know….as soon as someone sees you drawing, you become the new attraction! :)

Definitively, next time,  I’ll put a sign on my back  saying….”don’t feed the artist!” ;)

Hope you all enjoy the drawings!
