Penguins from the Falklands

I've been doing a lot of artwork for various travel destinations. Recently, I was assigned to do some illustrations for the Falkland Islands featuring, among other things, drawings of king penguins, rendered as though they were from a naturalist's sketchbook.



Penguins are wonderfully quirky, beautifully colored, chaps that are always dressed up for the occasion. Very fun to draw. Also, it's a bonus for me to learn about the geography, history, and culture of various locations.
