I just wanted to add this little drawing in the mix to celebrate World Rhino Day 2018.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to really get to work and produce a full size portrait of one of these animals. I think that way you might get to feel the full power and presence of a rhino. Only thing is, I’m not sure it would stand still long enough.
The mournful expression of a rhinoceros always seems to me as if they have the world’s problems on their shoulders. Perhaps, in a manner of speaking they do. Poor things. Let’s all do our bit to look after them.
I must admit, I do like looking at their ears!
I drew these two on the train, such is my way.
This little girl on the train with her mum was intensely drawing in her sketchbook throughout the journey. So engrossed in what she was doing.
I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them, but by sitting down and drawing, taking my time to study them in more detail (although not in a technical drawing sort of way), communing with nature a bit (a squirrel was making a right racket in a tree overhead), my sub-conscious brain started whirring and slowly formulated a plan of action. Now to put it into practice (next week).
