Thousands of pencil strokes went into creating this African Wild Dog drawing. The result you see here is a combination of patience, passion and dedication.
I can safely say this is my best African wild dog drawing in my entire drawing career and I'm wondering who would love to hang this beauty in their space.

I hope you love this A4 sized drawing.

In 2023 my artistic journey almost took a sharp turn when I tried wood carving but that idea was short lived as I just did 2 works, I'll show you the other rhino later. Truth be told, I had fun doing this piece. 😊
I created this 2D sculpture on oak wood, I did this with the help and mentorship of Zimbabwe’s finest carvers. The idea is to stick this to a board and hang it on a wall as shown on the 4th image.

Do you think I should have continued carving?

Hi to all my pet and wildlfe lovers! I trust I find you in good health and spirits.
It's morning here in the beautiful Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and what better way to start the day than sharing this commissioned pet portrait of Ted by a very supportive client.
I tackled Ted's portrait with charcoal pencils and those super dark eyes were done with pastels. Ted's portrait has already arrived at his new home where it's already cherished and soon will be going on the wall.

If there is one animal that I have neglected to depict in my wildlife drawing career, it would have to be the Zebra 🦓. My last rendition of this subject was just over two years ago.
I am delighted to present my latest artwork, which I recently completed using charcoal pencils on 29.5 × 21cm Fabrianno paper.
I invite you to share your thoughts on this piece in the comments section.

Another piece has found a new home. 🇿🇼➡️🇦🇺
This African Wild Dog drawing has made its journey from my studio to Australia. It's always an honour to know that Zimbabwe's incredible wildlife is being appreciated across the world through my art.
Thank you to my wonderful collector for supporting both my work and the beauty of Africa's wild places. Every sale is another reminder that art can connect people across continents while celebrating the species we must protect.

I would love to introduce you to Mishka and Womble who have unfortunately passed away but still live in the hearts of their loved ones. I was honoured to be granted the opportunity to immortalise these 2 on paper where they'll live forever. Nothing beats the excitement of being trusted with such a task.
Both drawings are now in Aussie 🇦🇺 where they rightfully belong.

If you're in a plane and you see a giraffe's head on the window level it could mean two things... That has to be the tallest giraffe in the world or the plane is crashing. 😅

Giraffes are among Africa’s most iconic animals, yet there’s still so much to learn about them. This portrait was created using charcoal and pastel pencils, capturing the gentle expression and unique beauty of one of nature’s tallest mammals.
295 × 210mm

But here’s a question for fellow wildlife enthusiasts:
🦒 From this picture can you tell whether this is a male or a female giraffe?
