Here is a sketch of a tadjik markhor goat. I saw this fellow during a recent visit to the Los Angeles Zoo and I was fascinated by his horns. I'd like to give them to one of my Gothic maidens, but first I think I'd like to do a study of the animal itself. This is based on one of the photographs I took while visiting the L.A. Zoo. I've chosen another to sketch and once I've done that, I'll choose between them and decide which one to refine and potentially paint. I might want to get my lamb painting in progress before I go too much further with this though...
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in April. This is day 17.
This is a rough sketch. You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.
I am also participating in Sunday Sketches. To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks so much! I've seen markhors before, but I don't think I can resist doing a painting of him at some point!
