Ape - Pen & Ink
This ape was a very quick sketch indeed. I had been drawing animals for about 4 years, so I had my speedy technique down. A little pen work, then fast brush. I drew with everything, metal tipped pens like crow quill, bamboo pens, feathers, sticks, whatever was available. I always carried a bottle of ink with me in those years. When my brushes got jagged and worn, they were even better.
(I gave one like this to Jane Goodall when she was in St. Paul.)
