Elephant in charcoal

Comments

It’s a beautiful sketch and you have done it so well. Elephants are not easy to sketch or paint due to all the folds etc in there skin, you have managed it particularly well

As Paul said, a hard subject very well done.

Thank you very much Paul, Richard, Chris and Anne, I really appreciate your comments as they help my confidence grow. I used charcoal for the first time about three weeks ago and am getting to quite like it!

A wonderful sketch Denise. You have really captured the textures within his skin so well.

Sketch of elephant using willow charcoal and charcoal pencil. On a learning curve and given the elephant to do for the challenge week of the drawawesome course I am doing. Pleased I got the proportions more or less right and getting to grips with charcoal.

Couldn't draw, didn't know where to start before 2022 but then have undertaken online course and put in plenty of practise and at least know how to approach things now. Just need to keep up the practise!
