Oh noooooooooooooooo! :(((( Incredible animals, truly. If only poachers and superstitious, selfish consumers could see the same beauty and reverence that you capture in your drawings.

Thats very Sad.....Cool drawingas...I like how you managed to keep those white areas unmarked...I'm a bit messy and careless...which is annoying,sometimes!

Ces Adorio said...

Thank you, Rick. very sad that we cannot protect them.

Ces Adorio said...

Thank you, Karen. :)

Such a shame that the custodians of these animals are incapable of protecting them from the selfish and destructive ways of certain cultures.

Thank you, Rod. I use a clean sheet of paper to cover the area where my hand rests on the drawing board. It also prevents any other chemicals from my hand. I use a smudge-free eraser to continually clean the area I need to keep white.
