Join the Nature Journal Club for a 1.5 hour workshop to round out our exploration of mammal anatomy, structure, and drawing techniques. This will be a fun draw along lecture so bring your sketchbook and pencil. In this workshop we will:
- Explore ways of rotating a simple mammal model in your head so that you can draw the foreshortened form from any angle.
- Analyze a few interesting species and practice getting them down on paper.
- Study common postures and how to draw them.
- Learn prominent muscle and bone “landmarks” to help you better understand what is going on under the skin and how to draw what we see.
All ages and experience levels are welcome. $20 suggested donation.

The class location is at Building 989 in the Presidio (behind the bathrooms next to the Warming Hut). Building 989 doesn’t actually have a street address (the Presidio can get pretty confusing – most of the buildings don’t have addresses!) It’s at the intersection of Long Avenue and Marine Drive, behind the bathrooms next to the Warming Hut Bookstore and Cafe. On the Google map above of the Warming Hut, building 989 is labeled “Pacific Coast Federation.” If you’re using mapquest or GPS, the best thing would be to go to the Warming Hut at 983 Marine Drive. We will put up a sign at the 989 building entrance and near the parking lot to point you in the right direction.
