Windows 2 the Soul

This is a sketch of a soulfull looking young gorilla. I first sketched this gorilla in 2003 with the title "Windows to the soul" which proved very popular

I have reversed the sketch and have put more detail in the eyes. It has been sketched using the medium of Chalk, Charcoal with a little Ochre in its eyes on black pastel paper.

The ORIGINAL has been SOLD to a PRIVATE COLLECTOR

Beautifully framed by Framers Gallery and currently displayed in the Studio/Gallery The framed size is 25in X 25in

The following sequence of images show how I sketched the above image

I've started work on the eyes before moving down the nose

It always makes me smile when I sketch young gorillas, they have such gentle faces.

I've now filled in the nose, mouth and chin.

That's it ready for scanning and Framing
