Elephants at the Waterhole
I have just completed this small drawing, using animals taken from various reference photos and using Photoshop combined them into a pleasing composition.

Elephants in the Dust
A family of elephant wander across the dusty plains looking for water.
My second one done on cradled board using Faber Castell coloured pencils. The texture is very obvious in the photo but it looks much better hanging on the wall. It is quite small, measuring 15" x 7". Now that I can buy these cradled (boxed) boards here in the UK I will probably be doing more of them. I do like the unusual finish that the texture brings to coloured pencils, just something a little different.
