Oh look I drew two giants

Description

...in pencil and not digitally, too! :dummy:

I didn't apply shadows on the giraffe, because I didn't want to mess up its spots XD The shading on the elephant could've been much better, but I guess I did okay, considering how seldom I even draw in traditional medium XP

This was mainly an observational exercise, so I looked at a couple of photographs as reference. Ah...this brings me back to 2011, when I first started drawing Sonic by heavily referencing poses from official art WHOOPS

Will update this with links to the photographs once I view this on my computer (this was uploaded using my mobile phone).

P.S. Giraffes are one of my favourite land mammals :) and flamingos are my favourite birds...am I seeing a pattern here (in terms of defining characteristics)? O_o Haha.

Those times are pretty fast for something so realistic! I really like the shading on the both, especially the elephant! :)
I don't know of anyone who doesn't like giraffes; they seem like such sweet animals. :aww:
