Aaah Jane, that is music to my ears! Have you done any of the talks yet? I’ve got a penguin talk on my calendar for 3:30 today an am excited to listen and draw along. It’s such a fun, organic way to find character inspiration, while creating your own unique sketchbook spreads. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! ✨
Oooh yay! It works well on my iPad, and it’s ancient and hasn’t been updated in years! I love the orangutans at the Toronto Zoo! Wali is seriously the cutest and I love when he steals his mama’s food! 😆 Are you going to visit them in person?!
Omg, Beth, thank you! I signed up for Zoolife, what amazing fun. I got on this morning to draw some turtles "just to warm up," and looked up 90 minutes later...
Saw Aaron Blaise do a similar thing during his live stream the other week. And got insperation to do it myself. Have not gotten that far yet myself. But is sure is a good practice!

Thanks for this. What an amazing resource. I shall be visiting often.
My pleasure! I look forward to a drawing session where we can all chat about our favorites. 😬
I'll go first!
The animals that I'm most excited to draw are orangutans, lemurs, penguins, and raccoons!
Beth, thanks for the tour on Zoolife and your beautiful illustration process! It has made my day! 💕
Oh, Núria, that makes me so happy! Thank you! 💖
I signed up and went straight to the Orangutans in Toronto...I want to visit the zoos on Zoo Life once a day and choose different animals daily.
Thanks for this demo...I have to install it on my ipad because I think it'll be better than my iphone.

I may go for a visit soon, that would be a great day out! Maybe when all the schools have gone back!
A zoo retreat sounds amazing!!! Loved this demo and art, Beth! Thank you!
You’re so welcome, Kristin! I had a blast making the video. It’s so fun not know what the animals will be doing! 😂
What a fun and inspiring post! I have never heard of the Zoolife and curious to learn more about the live tours. Thanks for sharing
I’m hosting a zoolife drawing session September 21! https://bethspencer.substack.com/p/drawing-sessions
What a great idea! I hadn’t thought of using animal webcams this way!
Just watching and drawing animals is super inspiring. 😄

What a treat to hear, Alison! I think I need to spend some time with those turtles soon! 🐢
