Giraffe Portrait in graphite

I took a step away from this drawing for a while and I finally finished it last night. I feel so relieved that it’s done!

This drawing is 21x13cm, using graphite on Daler Rowney Hot Pressed Aquafine paper. It is currently for sale framed and mounted for £95.00 plus postage, please check out my website for more details.

I learnt so much throughout drawing this, for one I finally bought a tombow mono eraser, which arrived while I was working on the neck, it did WONDERS for picking out fur and the hairs on the mane! Don’t think I can ever live without it now.

I think my next drawing is going to be much, much bigger… working on such a small scale is kind of stressful if you’re trying to get as much detail in as possible
