Resting Buffalo 9" x 15" pencil

Finished this small drawing of resting buffalo earlier today.It is based on an encounter with a herd of Buffalo who were taking a rest in the heat of the day in woodland in Chobe,Botswana.As soon as I was taking my reference shots of the group I knew it would become a drawing or even an oil painting at some point.i have so many wonderful images of Buffalo to work with and they are one of my favourite subjects and so I'm sure i'll be re-visiting them soon.
