Artist's notes:
 n
11/15/2008. I originally wanted to draw a female, but when
I started doing some research the bizarre shape of the male's
face made for a more interesting drawing. This is the 2nd
primate I've drawn(the other was a
Mountain Gorilla)
and I'm still learning how to render fur. Overall I think
the drawing is fine, but for some reason the Great Apes
are really challenging me and pushing me out of my comfort
zone.
