I received some
feedback regarding my earlier work on the Elephant subject, mainly about
including the rest of the Elephant. The image below is the result of a new A3
work that addresses those comments.
My personal view on
this is that the inclusion of the legs changes the overall symmetry of the
composition to its detriment, I prefer the earlier approach, and it just feels
more intimate and pleasing.
I used a set of Lyra
Rembrandt graphite pencils for this one. I used a photograph I took in the Addo
NP several years ago as my reference. I see that there are numerous comments on
the internet about artwork that fails to give proper attribution and confirm
permission from the original photographer. I am fortunate to have a lifelong
obsession with taking photographs, consequently I have a large collection of my
own images to work from.
