Pencil-drawing after several ref.photos, mostly from Photographer Nick Brandt.

I have used mostly staedtler 3B and 7B(graphite) and some charcoal for the deepest shadows( the skin-folds on the rhinos and elephant - the background behind the rhinos and the giraffes, and for the frames)

size is aprox.: 45x57cm
