I started these guys quite some time ago, but recently came across the drawing and decided to work on it more. This was a drawing from a photo that I snatched from a rhino blog that is not public domain, but I'm just doing this for myself as practice with colored pencil and certainly do not have any intention of selling it. These guys are two Sumatran rhinos and as I really have not come across any public domain photos of Sumatrans, this is my only way of drawing them. I found this photo so incredibly sweet. Rhino sweethearts... I do plan on taking a trip to the Cincinnati zoo this summer and they do have Sumatran rhinos, so I hope I can come away with some good photos of my own.
On another rhino note, my friend informed me that she saw "Growing up Rhino" on Animal Planet yesterday. It was part of their "Growing Up..." series. So, I spent some time investigating when or if this is going to repeat. And yes, it is going to repeat! It will air again on April 23rd at 9:00 AM, so I am going to have to remember that and set my VCR. I figured if I document it here, I will be more likely to remember...

This is very nice. You're a great artist! Maybe you should approach the blog owner or whomever took the photo, and let them have the original artwork in exchange for giving you the rights to reproduce the image in whatever way you like (I'm thinking notecards, bookmarks, CafePress gift items and that sort of thing)
