I'm also participating in Show Your Face this week.

Here is another 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'm going to decide between this one and the other one...  Markhors are listed as endangered due to people hunting them for their horns, I hope their situation improves.


I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in April.  This is day 22.  

This is a rough sketch.

Sketch of a Tadjik Markhor Goat, April 17 Art Sketches Daily...

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...
