I really like this, at first I did not know what I was getting ready to see but I definitely see the work of a great artist. I like how the colors go really well together in this. I also like the dark background which makes this stand out and I also like how it fits the frame. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing and have a great weekend also. JackJr.

Your creation is a masterpiece of utter and pure perfection! The thought of digitally recreating this exquisite work fills me with excitement, if you allow it. The gentle majesty of elephants and the charming allure of foxes are subjects that truly captivate my admiration. The meticulous details, coupled with the seamless fade to black, reveal an artistry that is nothing short of impeccable. It's a testament to your extraordinary talent and a source of profound joy and inspiration.

I love the style of this. Never seen a black elephant but I assume its the shading. The details are wonderful and the eyes pull you in. Love your creativity. Thanks for sharing.

Maureen,
A very beautiful Pastel drawing of an Elephant with a jewelled headdress the light sparkling in it's eyes While highlighting it's dark hide & tusks. Created in your artist's eye for composition very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice & application of your colours in bringing this Elephant to life on your canvas.

Ummm! This elephant devil looks scary,indeed. I love the use of minimal colours against the black background for maximum effect. A very well soft pastel work. Bravo!

A wonderful imaginative piece of Art Work, that from a distance looks like a digital image. I love the colours of the mammoth and the way you have shaded it out into the dark background. The detailed head piece is quite exquisite. So well created!

The black background is perfect for this fine soft pastel. I like the upper part well, but it is scary. The detail work above and around the face is fine, the attire realistic but I don't know about the hands, where they stopped.

    not sure what hands you are talking about? the gold is just a design. thank you for your review

    Welcome. I see that, artist friend, but it could be taken for arms extended, hands unfinished. Yet I see what you are talking about and it is fine work, yet scary.

Comes a large mammoth or huge elephant. Your fine and full composition grants us a good view of your nocturnal beast. Colours and detail are good. Nicely painted!
