Back in 2010 I was laid up for three months due to illness, so my passion for photography and bird watching was swept to one side during that time. Needing something to do (not being a tv person) I decided to have a go at drawing, something I`ve never done but always had the urge to try, but never had the time. So with time on my hands I put pencil to paper and drew this Chimp which was my first attempt at drawing anything significant. since then I`ve drawn lots of pets belonging to family and friends. I would also like to add my admiration to those in the Art section of the forum, they are very talented people. Well done to you all. Will be off the forum for a few days my friends, will catch up soon.
