my drawing

Congratulations to @shawlin, @imadear @chigraze who was nominated as the winner last week and to everyone who participated in the contest. We all did a great job last week in drawing Dog and I read different reviews about what makes dog special and unique.

This week it's something new which is the drawing of elephant. Not just drawing of elephant, we look into the unique characteristics of elephant. It's time to show how we can draw and I will like @missyleo, @ogechukwu-martha, @mesola, @goodybest and @hayledemi to participate in this drawing contest. I will start by showing how to draw an elephant.

• ♦️pen
• ♦️white paper (my jotter specifically)

• ♦️One thing about drawing in a pen is that you must not make mistakes, if you use pencil, you can possibly erase it, it's not possible with pen. what is the way out? I sketch. I first of all sketch the drawing of the elephant, I start by the head, ear, the back, the tail, the leg, the trunk ans the roar. Look at I'm the picture below 👇

• ♦️After Sketching my drawing of elephant on paper, I begin tracing on the line I sketch, the will bring out the structure of the elephant. Another thing is that, when drawing with a pen, after sketching the drawing, the tracing method is the finally stage to correct any mistake in your drawing. If you're using a pencil to draw, there's no need of sketching because you can possibly erase a mistake.

I trace the drawing, after tracing, I draw the eyes of the elephant.

• ♦️My drawing had already come out but to make it look attractive, color is needed. In this case I use the same pen in coloring, how, through shading. There's light shading and thick shading as you can see in the picture 👇

My drawing is ready, the name of my drawing is very important, and I also write my username which is @mhizta.

Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, brothers and sisters, I present to you all, my drawing of an elephant 👇

Like I said earlier, let find out some of the characteristics that makes elephant unique.

♦️Are you surprised to know that elephant is the only animal that have the largest brain of any land animal? It's actually true, with this brain they have excellent memories and social behaviors.

♦️When it comes to sense organ, elephant is possessed with highly developed sense of hearing and smell in which they use to communicate with each other sense for danger and to find food.

♦️They are always in group, in team, and they form strong bonds with each other, to protect each other from harm, to the extent that will stand over if one of them die and cover it with dirt.

♦️Another unique characteristics is that they can easily communicate in in a long distance by using infrasound, low-frequency vibrations that can travel long distances through the ground.

♦️They are herbivores meaning that they eat plants, grass, the leaves, and they consumed it in large quantity. They can live longer up to 70 years, and the female elephant have strong maternal instinct whereby they will nurse other young elephant if their mother is dead or unable to nurse them.

♦️They have a unique body part called trunk which they use for drinking, playing, eating, communicating, and defense. They can easily lift up an object with the trunks because it very sensitive.
