JED Art: Indian elephant

It's been a while since I posted any of my art, but recently I have been inspired by an amazing sketching and drawing artist David Dancey-Wood... his work leaves you speechless. I met him once and he taught me how to paint eyes! The main thing is that it takes him weeks to finish a picture because he puts in so much detail.

So for a few months now, I have taken a leaf out of his book and taken my time drawing; mainly animals, because that is what seems to inspire me. This is the first - what do you think? The elephant is my favourite animal.
