Watercolor and gouache on Bristol Board. This illustration
feels almost like a portrait to me, it has so much character. I spent
a day at the Oakland Zoo shooting reference, and the rhinos were right
up next to the fence. I got to see every lovely eyelash.
I adore rhinos, elephants, and hippos. Not only are they
beautiful to behold, they're the last few remnants of the Pleistocene
"megafauna", descendants of the shaggy, red-haired giants
who survived the Ice Ages. The world would be a smaller place without
them.
