It’s been a while since the last time I tackled a drawing of this majestic creature. I think elephants translate well into pen and ink drawings as far as subject matter goes. I particularly like the challenge of trying to get that realistic look with all the wrinkles and folds presented in this beautiful creature’s skin. But even at the size of a baseball card, an unimaginable amount of dots have already gone into this. It has taken 12 hours spread over three days just to fill in the background. Still though, I always enjoy the outcome of a good pen and ink piece of elephants. Hoping this turns out the way I imagine it.
Interesting blog!

Elephants are my spirit animal!
❤️🐘❤️
They are also endangered masterpieces themselves.
I’m just starting to blog about my new art journey and I love looking at ink drawings. Glad I stumbled on yours.

That’s really lovely art! I’ve always been fond of pointillism even if I don’t have the patience for it myself! Great work! 🐘

Thank you. 😊 Pointillism takes quite a bit of patience which is why I mostly do small pieces of art. Anything beyond 8×6 gets fairly exhausting for me.
