This set of sketches and drawings feature taxidermied animals, and a skeleton of an Elk. The Elk skeleton shows a quick rendition of a vantage point. It was done in around ten minutes, and as such is lacking in from few areas, the most obvious being that the perspective of the skeleton is slightly wrong, as it should be smaller towards the skull and front legs. The observation of the otter is done well, due to the foreshortening of the paws, and the detail of the graphite strokes form the fur texture.
The two bird sketches; a parrot and a bald eagle, were each done in 2 minutes, leaving little room for huge detail, but enough for the feathers. The superior in terms of balancing is the eagle as its mass is very centralised. However the parrot is a very good example of foreshortening and depth and was deliberately chosen for this reason.
