"Giraffe"


I started with the form or the basic shape and outline in my head. The humanoid element to the sketch came out somewhere along the line.

this is incredible. I actually could not stop staring at this piece. I began to fee l so much sorrow over the obvious plight of this giraffe. I wanted to know if he actually found any sustenance at all. Did he soon after die? then i began to say to myself...no..maybe he didn't die. Then if he didn't...then what? then i began to question.... was he strong enough to go on? But then i looked at the image closely....and stopped my inquiries. I noted from the folding of his hands...i resolved that none of the previous was the case. I assumed he was surrendering to the condition he was in, and if he did or didn't reach this one lone leaf...so be it. Wow...great. Thanks for the story in my head.
