Earth Day 2014 Rough Sketch

Every year for Earth Day I draw a picture, usually featuring at least a couple endangered (some of them are critically endangered) animals. This year I went with five. The Saola (aka the "Asian Unicorn"), the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, the Sumatran Rhinoceros, the Amur Leopard and the Northern Sportive Lemur. It's a tall order considering all the details planned for this picture but my goal is to have it inked and colored in time for Earth Day...if I can ever find enough free time between now and then. This is the first day I've had a chance to sit down and draw in what feels like forever. I think I'm rusty, and kind of depressed...but this was refreshing and I'm still feeling inspired.
