This is Oumbie, a 28 stone silverback from Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire, England. He's a western lowland gorilla and he's been introduced to the zoo to woo the lady gorillas there. lol. He's doing a pretty good job too from newspaper reports. I haven't used my pencils for over a year now, I was a bit nervous, maybe I'd forgot how to, I've really missed them and enjoyed doing this so much I want to do more pencil work again. This has taken approximately 17 hours to do. Thanks for having a look, have a great day, Joanne:)
