Here are a couple of sketches I've done of Okapis:

I'm doing studies with the aim of a full-colour painting. Okapis are as far as I'm concerned strong contenders for the most handsome large mammals out there. They're a kind of giraffe, after all. I would love to see a real one, up close if possible, like that one time I stroked a giraffe's nose. They look as if they have the same kind of soft, velvety noses!

I really like the expression on the second one's face. Nice striped leggings as well. Thanks for sharing these, looking forward to the future Post with the colour one in it.

Sorry Willem. I didn't mean to rush you at all. You just have an awful lot of fans who love your sketches and paintings. I wish we had enogh money to buy your paintings, I'd love to support you financially. Have a great weekend!
