    Aaron Blaise took me on a drawing adventure to sketch animals in the Florida marshes. After walking in circles we were able to spot the ever-elusive alligators hiding in the water. I had a blast learning about the wildlife and hanging out with his crew.
    While I was in Florida, I also got a chance to record Aaron’s masterpiece demo of a lion. We recorded the whole two-day process of drawing a large animal portrait, plus a lesson on big cat anatomy. You can find that at proko.com/blaise.
