Card done for Desley's birthday, 2011.
This one is 6 years old now and done back when I was practicing animals and starting to use the polychromos pencils which is why it isn't as polished and detailed as my work is now. Still, It's nice to look back on old works and see how far you've come as an artist.
Family would bombard me with photos on FB with not so subtle hints that they'd like that particular image for this year's card. Desley loves primates, orang-utan's in particular and I lost count of all the 'ideas' she posted on my wall. I chose this one because it has a nice sense of fun to the image.
Done with polychromos pencils and built up in layers, utilising my pressure application and layering techniques, the picture consists of 15 colours.
The orang-utan was done with white, ivory, brown ochre (light), terracotta, cinnamon, Venetian red, black and warm grey 4.
The grass and leaves were done with white, grass green, permanent green olive, moss green, earth green,  brown ochre (dark), walnut brown, black and cold grey 5.

Completion time: 51 hours 43 minutes
