For this edition of Visual Vocabulary I have deferred to one of the masters of illustration: Ed Emberley.  The animal sketches below were drawn using the step-by-step approach found in Emberley’s Make A World – a great resource for artists young and old alike.  The sketches below were created with the iPad app Adobe Ideas.

The sketches seen here are part of a project called Visual Vocabulary.  In addition to helping me build my own visual vocabulary, my hope is that these small sketches might serve as a resource for others who are new to visual note taking and are trying to develop their skills.
