elephant
natural history
museum
i was obsessed with
its leathery skin,
all the creases
an elephant's skin groves
are like dried up river beds,
ripples in the sand from
receding water
it was so hard
to draw
ah the patterns
in nature!
from macro
to the micro

I love your elephant drawing. Elephants are so... mysterious.. and seem so gentle for such a powerful creature.
That's OSOM.
Did you draw this? Congratulations!!
A joy to sketch in the museum. I can feel the strength and energy. G
Beautiful drawing! The natural history museum is always the best place for inspiration!
maybe i am wrong, but a stuffed elefant looks more integrated in our human world than he does when walking to and fro behind bars in the zoo.
yours looks so friendly,..
maybe i am wrong , but stuffed elefants look more integrated in our human world while the ones in the zoo walking to and fro behind bars are not..?
seems the live elefants imitate their spectators , while the stuffed ones wear their creators (taxidermist, not god!)emotional handwriting on their faces..
very nice. post more drawings
