Giraffe Calf

At last I have found the time to paint again. It has been nearly six weeks since the last! I am very pleased with the outcome of this. Usually after a long period of not drawing it is difficult to get back into the swing of things, but with this giraffe it felt easy and comfortable; a pleasant surprise!
This is my first Giraffe youngster, and I have to say they are not an easy subject to paint. They have quite unusual muscle structure. I think my favourite area to paint was the mane. All it took was a smooth line of paint flicking with a brush to give that hairy effect.
This painting can also be seen on my website under the 'wild animals' gallery section. All four galleries are up, and a 'landscape' gallery will follow shortly.
