Animals, The Elephant by Joan Tavolott
I wanted to sketch something a bit different today, so I searched the WetCanvas Reference Library and found this crop of an elephant. I just love all the wrinkles...he makes my face look smooth. LOL
oh Joan this is so good your Elephant . Your details are splendid those wrinkles. Background and sides I love. The greenery of leaves.
oh my everyone seems towards the end they have every creature, reptile plus more animals possible. I think this is a real great theme and love from sketches, pens, paint. Thumbs up!. Shows such determination and colors of all. .

Really big animal. Joan, You have captured the elephant good in this detail. Nicely done, I can see how the skin is wrinkled and thick.
ReplyDeleteLovely painting.
ReplyDeleteWonderful lines those wrinkles. I can FEEL the texture of his skin! Beautifully drawn and painted Joan.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Did you use colored pencil for the wrinkles?
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone. This was fun to do.
ReplyDeleteMelisa, I used a sepia ink pen for most of the wrinkles.
