Came up with this new piece. Been thinking about using Afrcian/Asian Animals as a starting point for some time and came up with this for starters.

1) this little chap appeared in my sketchbook almost at random but it got me thinking. I liked the black body and lack of detail.

2) Is that his mum or his dad?

3) Cheeky critters. I really liked the lack of detail and the movement in this sketch.

4) I think the monkeys remind of the Chris Ware diagramatic Quimby comics.

5) Made a more details drawing ready for tracing in Illustrator.

6) The finish piece. I particularly like the brush styles on the elephant. I definately think this new style has a bit of life. Watch this space.
