An Unfamiliar Scent

A bull elephant spreads its ears and raises his head as he senses danger

The image has been sketched using PASTELS on Black Pastel Paper.

This bull elephant made a mock charge at us to within 15-20 feet.

The background sky and dust

Starting from the left ear and then gradually moving across the head to the right ear.

Gradually the elephant is starting to take shape..

That's it for the day, trunk and legs to do tomorrow!!

The lovely posture of the elephant before he turned to face us...

Squaring up, then some foot stamping, followed by the mock charge. As you can see, Stretch Ferreira our guide has raised his left hand whilst continuosly reassuring the bull elephant by gently talking to it.
