Illustration Friday-Clumsy


Giraffe's are such awkward funny looking creatures, I remember when I went to the zoo last year I was very shocked at how big they really are. You don't really appreciate the size until you see them. They look so long and gangly and quite clumsy but I think they are charming animals with beautiful eyes.

I decided to keep this as a sketch today just for a change. I'm into challenging myself at the moment and mixing it up a bit so I thought keeping it black and white was the right thing to do.

Hi Nicola! Have you heard about the one world, one heart event? I have a button (link) on my blog and I thought that if you haven't, you may want to check it out. It is good exposure and allows you the chance to give and get art prizes and make further connections. It starts Monday the 25th. Just thought you may be interested, Kristin :)
