Picking up the graphite materials has made me motivated to plan another wildlife graphite piece :D. There’s a variety of species here but I certainly need to add more! The Rhino and Gorilla are two of my favourites. I had incredible photos to use and being A3 (11.7″ x 16.5″) I had plenty of space to add lots of detail :D. Both of these portraits were commissioned by a collector so are hung on the wall together 😀
