SEWebb said...

I like any kind of birds - owls especially! Any animals are fun - even mythical ones like unicorns! Sarah W

Prairie Jill said...

Hard to pick a favourite animal, but I'll go with the Arctic fox. We have several at the local zoo and they are so beautiful, especially when their fur turns white in winter.

Franziska said...

Hi Alisa, I love everything under water, this is just a magical world to me. My favourite animal would therefore be the octopus. Thank you for the chance of winning a free spot in your new online class! Franziska

Kat said...

Owls, foxes and hedge hogs

Unknown said...

thanks for the giveaway! my favorite animals are my dogs :)

JLG said...

My favorite creature is the magical Monarch Butterfly. My first graders always make the most unique ones; a bit lop-winged, filled with orange and black lines with white spots. Can't you just picture the possibilities?

Tracy said...

So cute! The kitties are purrfect! :)

gigi said...

My favorite definitely is the majestic swan

Amanda said...

I love all animals. I don't think there's one animal I don't like. But my favourite would have to be the cat. ( I have to say that, my 2 cats are watching!) ;-)

Traci Folkersen said...

MKat said...

Another great class! I like butterflies!

Anonymous said...

I love your little fox! I also love cats, owls, birds...oh who am I kidding...there's too many to list!

tonya said...

Like picking a color, it's hard to decide, but right now I want to say the bat. No one loves them and they're so awesome, they deserve a shout out. I love bats.

Elizabeth Metz said...

ALL of them. Seriously. I should probably live in a zoo. Though I'm all over reptiles. There's something completely ridiculous about a lizard. And Binturong. Got to meet one last year and they've got perfect little hands with vinyl-like pads and they *like to hold hands with people*. Not even kidding.

(It was at the Sloth rescue place up by Rainier, OR, so not far from you at all, too.)

Cozy said...

My favorite animal- just hatched birds and all kinds of bugs. Maybe not the softest, but they have focus on simple things, instinct, willpower and are SO INTERESTING and diverse. They are more than just the cuddly sweet form of the animal- they are the urgent ones. :)

Lynda said...

Foxes, cats, hedgehogs, sea turtles, whales, llamas....oh wait, I was only allowed to choose one? I can't help it. I like them all! Bears, dogs, birds, reindeer .....

CandaceMakesStuff said...

In real life, it's horses. I love everything about them and would love to be able to be around them again. In art and decorating my life, it's birds. I am inspired by them as a symbol of freedom. I used to dream I was flying when I was little.

Unknown said...

Bonnie Schulte said...

Oh my goodness, my favorite animal...hard to choose, but since my sweet cat is laying here on my key board, making it a little difficult to type this comment, I guess I will say (well cuz it's true) she is my favorite animal.

Bonnie Schulte said...

Ummm, I did comment, but it didn't show up here??, so I'll do so again, hope that is ok,in case the first comment shows up. Anyway..Cats, doing the goofy things that cats do most of the time, well, when they aren't napping or eating...

Unknown said...

Your style has such a natural, inspiring flow and the animals you create remind me of aboriginal art which I love! I am a 3rd grade teacher and it is on my bucket list to write and illustrate a children's book about friendship between an owl and an elephant, the later being my favorite animal! Thanks for sharing all of your inspiring creations!

kjogo said...

Deidre said...

Believe it or not, a goat. We had one and we loved her. she followed us around the yard and waited by the back door for us to come back outside. Then she died. Broke our hearts.

Right now my favorite animal to sketch would be the squirrel, because everyday I walk outside my apartment and see the squirrels dashing around. I keep imagining what they might say to each other. They always make me smile :-)

Helen said...

Cats - definitely cats. Just love their indifference :)

Unknown said...

I would really love to win this class! I live in The Netherlands bit never saw a class for this style I love so much.
I love to be creative but always have some kind of fear to draw little creatures like you make. It is my dream to design a little cute animal and let that become the lead character in a children story book. Dogs are my favorite animals but for drawing I really love birds. But I am open to all kind of animals!

Best regards,

My favorites are lions, tigers and elephants (oh my!) and I reside with a domestic feline with a giant personality.

I love foxes, but that might be a bit boring, as they are such 'hot' animals at the moment (you see them everywhere...). A turtle maybe?

Unknown said...

Elephants! They represent strength, wisdom, and family. Amazing creatures.
