The Long Draw

Last drawing in the sketchbook and it had to be a giraffe. Rendered with Pentel GraphGear mechanicals and Blu-Tack for highlights. Mandy Mitchell’s photography was the spark. No regrets. Full pages.

Graphite drawing of a giraffe's face and upper neck rendered in close frontal view on cream-toned sketchbook paper. Detailed fur texture, expressive dark eyes, and soft highlights created with lifting. Sketchbook held open on a wooden table with mechanical pencils below.
