Stunning - you should be teaching this! You are so very skilled. The values, composition and combination of hard and soft edges is exceptional. Could you please state a size and the support used?

Thank you so much Joy. You're very kind. Maybe I could try and teach someday....The support is Bristol board smooth 14 x 17 and the drawing does go to the edge. I used multiple types of charcoal and charcoal pencils, Pan pastel (black) and white charcoal pencil when the eraser couldn't pull enough of the pigment from the paper.

Thank you for noticing the value, composition, and edges. Those were the items I was most focused on when doing this peace. I feel that Rhino #2 got a way from me initially and I had to go back and apply those ideas to save it as best I could. I'll try to get Rhino #4 posted soon. I need to seal it and shoot it.

Thank you so much for your comments and interest!!!! Have a great weekend!!!!

I am sure that many at CS will lokk forward to more of your exquisite art. The edges are reminiscent of Rembrant's "windmill principle" and really give the pieces depth.

You know, rhinos are unicorns with weight problems.
