This is my first Illustration Friday offering since our BIG move to South Texas about a month ago. I can't tell you how good it feels to finally be almost set up and ready to rock out some great new work -- well at least attempt to :>
I wasn't really sure what to draw for 'Hoard' and was about to pass this challenge by - until I started unpacking sketchbooks, plant & flower reference books and a HUGE envelope of pressed flowers.
My 'Hoard' offering was right in front of me - I am a hoarder of everything flower-related. I'm also............

For this assignment we had to draw a mammal and I chose an Asian Elephant. I shot the photo at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, shortly after the birth of baby elephant, Pathi Harn, in 2010.
I think the skeleton looks a bit dodgy. I found a number of skeletons on the internet but nothing matched the posture of my elephant, so had to make it up.
I left out the muscle structure. Muscles are attached to each rib bone which I have drawn too thin and it all just became too complicated.

We now have received the final information and instructions for week 6:
The task:
A fully rendered drawing of a plant, flower, or an animal.
Wow! This is getting serious and the amount of work is just about mind-boggling. Everything is explained in detail; From furs, to feathers, to eyes, and more.
I have learnt a lot in this course. At this stage, the final task appears overwhelming and I think I will have to spend more time on this task than the 3 - 6 hours recommended each week. So, I am not sure whether or not I will be able to complete this task in time.
Be it as it may, once I am finished with it, even if it is past the due date, I shall upload my work on flickr.
Depending on how seriously one is taking this course, it is quite involved, definitely worthwhile doing. For me, doing it in six weeks is stretching it a bit because I am a somewhat slow worker :)
Parker Ruby ink with Lamy Safari fountain pen into my Moleskine Watercolour sketchbook (Large) (50 min)
I think his name was Bernard. It's great to be able to draw normal looking people. He is sitting on an invisible chair.
Colored with Inktense Watercolor Pencils and Prismacolor Pencils. Thanks for viewing. Your views and comments are appreciated.
