"Serengeti Royale" colored pencil. (16 in x 10 in)
This piece was created to be a competition piece for the SRQ art competition. I wanted to capture the powerfulness and the wildness of the wildlife that inhabits Africa. I chose an elephant as my center because of its strong, powerful connotation, and it's ability to fill the page. The rhino and the zebra were chosen because they fit the greyscale color scheme of the animals. The background is yellow to evoke images of their natural habitat. The zebra is the most successful part of this piece, whereas if I were to redo it, I would improve the anatomy of the elephant, specifically on its tusk and trunks.
