Artist's notes:
 This
was one of the first animals I attempted. I believe it was
created while I was living in Germany in 1998. It was originally
just a pen and ink illustration and the color was added
in 2006. Technically it's not the strongest drawing, but
the pose and the way the elephant meets the viewer's gaze
I find effective. This is mostly a line art drawing without
too much stippling. I was still working on a style and trying
to figure out natural forms rather than the architectural
ones I had been used to.

Information about the African Elephant:
African Elephants are the earth’s heaviest land animal
and are also the second tallest. The two finger-like projections
on the tip are so dexterous they can pick a blade of grass.
Their massive ears are used to help them to keep cool in
the hot African climate. Elephants are herbivores and eat
all types of vegetation such as grasses, leaves, fruits,
and bark. They have the largest brain size versus body weight
other than man.
