Elephant

Start Date: April 24 2012 Finish Date: April 24 2012

Let's be real, baby elephants by themselves are adorable, so NATURALLY, it can be assumed that a baby elephant playing with a ball is 10x more adorable. As much as I would love to have a baby elephant, I don't have a lot of room in my backyard for one; so instead of living my life disappointed by my lack of elephant-age, I decided to draw it. I found a reference on google of a baby elephant, and started to draw it. First, I drew a line in the middle of the paper to act as the ground. Then I started to draw the elephant as I saw it. After that, I drew the ball and shaded the background so it looked less plain. I think the only thing I don't like about this picture is that the ball seems sort of flat, but I figure that if I was a ball and a heavy elephant was playing with me, I'd probably be flat too. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this drawing and am looking forward to the next one.
