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.

I think I'm developing dyslexia..... I don't know if that's even possible, but I just seem to be constantly putting letters in the wrong order. I tried to spell 'o clock' like this: o clcok.
Far out. I've done worse though. I just can't remember.

lmao! That's so wonderful! No, i don't think you can develope it, but it can be a new discovery! Or something... Like a disease! muahaha! I totaly do that too, mostly when I'm online. I think that I simply zone out. but I agree, i never remember the awesome words I seem to create... ><
