Description
THIS IS A DRAWING, NOT A PHOTO!After a ton of hard work, here it is, finally completed. I had it done just in time, and was able to hand it in to be put with the rest of the pieces that are going to be part of the exhibition.
My hand has been playing up though. The pains that I was getting after fracturing my hand came back while I was working on this, so I'm glad that I can rest it up for a while and be a little cautious without having to worry about any deadlines!
And to think that I started this portrait at Christmas....
Please check out as it was his amazing Elephant photo that I used in the first place. (with permission!)
Border-Indian Ink
Elephant- 6H, 3H, H, HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B, 7B. 2 blending sticks, a kneadable eraser and my finger.
Time taken: I would estimate that it would be 30-38 hours. So much!!

If you like it, please fav it! I want to know that my hard work is being appreciated.
NOTE
Fullview is a must to see all the detail that has come of my hard work and pain!
EDIT:
This photo of it isn't so great, so when I get it back from the exhibition, I will update it.

This is really Beautiful work, I done an elephant not so long ago, it was quite a challenge. You've really captured the detail in the skin texture very well

Thanks very much! It sure took a long time to get the texture just right, but the time I put into it paid off in the end I feel.

Damn. And here I was about to write in and ask why you and the guy who took the original photo had two photos of the same thing on your page. I thought you'd lifted his photo or something sinister. Which I mean as a compliment, because this is amazing work. Right on!

Wow, this is really good. You're right thought, Elephants are hard to draw. Took me a few hours and about a million lines to make those details. Kepp up the good work.
