I love the Elephant NP they are my favourite as well , I had a copy of a David Shepherd one which got scratch and spoilt in a move ...

Let us know if you do an Elly picture ! .. I could put in a bid ....

ok i will but i just mite want to keep that.ive not drawn an elephant since school lol.i dont draw my own dogs eith.the last one i was drawing died nine years old real close to the picture id half done.i was beside myself and couldnt even take it of my drawing board.my mum ended up doing it.i put it away but it got ruined.i just get real personal and id probably snivel like a girly and soak it lol.you get to know a face awfully well when your 8" away from it studying it for 30-40 hours.essentialy im wating for the perfect elephant picture that will never come along.i got all my inspiration from david shepherd he is the man. people are surprised i dont know many famous artists at all.my answer is ,why would i .i got no formal training and my mum had a picture bye david shepherd on her living room wall from a very early age.i had everything i needed.i hope that answerd your question lol amy

Yes thanks Leigh , you say your mum finished it .. do you mean the drawing .. did you inherit your talent from her ?

The picture I had was Elephants over Amberceli , it,s still rolled up in a tube I think somewhere in the loft LOL

ow no my mum took it of my drawing board as i just couldnt bear to look at it .my mistake.my mum cant draw a thing.i think my dad could.

Great work Leigh, and many thanks for posting up the photos of your fantastic new projects. It's also lovely to see all the research you have undertaken through your sketches and photos as well.The elephant sculpture is really exciting, and, I agree with you- they also happen to be my favourite creatures on this planet, and I think they are so graceful and majestic along with my other favourites which are Gorillas and Chimpanzees.
All best wishes and congratulations again.

thanx grenville theres plenty of animals i like .a bit like my music easier to say what i dont like.i like orangutans.gorrillas.chimpanzees not so much.i see us horrible humans in them though everything belongs including slugs and snails.its us humans who put things wear they shouldnt be.i love big cats theres plenty of others.i just keep comming back to apes.im drawn to the drawings of apes the same as i am skull tattoos and i dont know why.elephants are like girrafe they seam to run quite quick but in slow motion if that makes any sense.i always do research id be mad not to with a computer though i would anyway.im not called nosey potter 4 nothing lol
