Materials use in drawing

  • My jotter
  • Pen
Step by step how I drew Rhinoceros

Am going to explain how my drawing was plan and the simple steps in it.

Downloading the image of Rhinoceros

Since am not familiar with the animal I had to search for it so that I can have the dull knowledge to explain. So I downloaded the picture on pixabay. Here is the main picture of Rhinoceros.

Sketching

If you have been following my drawing you'll noticed that one of the most style I use in all my drawing is stretching. With sketching, you would have the picture of what you want to draw right before you. So I sketch the animal on my jotter as you can see below.

Tracing

After sketching the next thing to do is bring the drawing to reality. Sketching is like planing while tracing is exhibiting the plan. So began to trace on the line I sketching, giving me the full structure of the animal, Rhinoceros.

Shading

After tracing, our next step in how to decorate the animal, making it to look attractive. So I began to a shade to look like it's hair. I draw it's eye and shades all over the body.Since I don't have other material except the pen, I use it to shade it horn, ears, and the tail.

Title and username

Writing my username and the animals name
After looking at my drawing I can see that I have completed everything. Imagine a drawing without a title? So I write the name of the animal, my user name which is @mhizta and the date I make the drawing.

All set

Oh yes, thissnnis how the drawing was made. So let take a picture, I took a selfie with the drawing. Now we have to compare the picture together with the one I downloaded online. Here we go.


Have you ever seen one?

Yes I have seen Rhinoceros before live and direct.....real life? No Hahaha, I saw it on wildlife TV. RHINOCEROS is some of the animal that have similar weight like hippopotamus.

What type of animal is it?

In classifying the Rhinoceros family, it belongs to Rhinocerotadae. They are mammal whereby they feed on grass and their source of food. They classified them to warm blooded animals that have hair on their body to keep them warm, they produce milk to feed their young ones and they also have earbone which them to detect sound from far distance.


What are its characteristics?
  • Now let's get into the real characteristics of the animal. Rhinoceros is herbivorous animal meaning that they only eat plants, grasses, leaves, and fruits.

  • Rhinoceros are well known for their poor eyesight but they have otherr sensitive organsike excellent in sense of smell and hearing.

  • When it comes to sizes, Rhinoceros is one of the animal like I said earlier. Research shows that Rhinoceros is among the largest land mammals on Earth, with some species weighing about 6,000 pounds. With this size they are formable to stand against their predators.

  • Rhinoceros skin can be weighed about 1.5 inches as they have thick and wrinkle skin. Have this tough hide they can be able to withstand attack from predators provides them with protection from predators and other elements

  • Ability to grow back their horns, Rhinoceros have a true like horn like our finger nails. It's can regrow the horn if it it been removed though it would take time.


That's all for today, am sure we learn something today about Rhinoceros. Thank you for reading and do well to join me in this contest.My invitation goes to @mahammad-ahmad, @megareigns, @caringmanasseh, @josepha.
