I love this little guy. Glad I took a photo because he has been recently purchased and living in a happy home.
Several sketches of elephants were done at our local zoo, (so fun to do animals there!) then I came home and experimented with doing light wash backgrounds first, leaving lots of white areas. Practiced doing eyes and started with that first. Over a couple days I gently added layers and lines, just enough to add features and stopped there before overworking. That is the hard part-knowing when to stop!
