This is definitely one of the most difficult drawings I've done, basically because of the creases and lines in the elephants skin. I also blended charcoal pencil into parts of this and I think it works well with the pencils. I used light grey, A3 pastel paper. I watched a documentary on these amazing animals awhile ago with a photographer called Martyn Colbeck who followed one particular herd around for years. They gradually got to know and trust him and things he discovered about them were just fascinating. I never realised just how intelligent, caring and gentle they are. Absolutely gorgeous creatures! Hope you enjoy this one, excuse the untidy edges, I haven't got my program to crop it at the moment. Thanks so much for taking a look, have a great day, Joanne:-)
