Wildebeest: Sketchbook series

The wildebeest series. Multimedia, digital and traditional, onto sketchbook, 9×12″. I was driven to use the wildebeest as my muse by the strength of this animal, but also the bewildering and almost relentless regularity of its seasonal migrations. If there was something that said ‘herd mentality’, it was the wildebeest – but just as much, its characteristic shapes give it a gaunt look, as though it, unlike other creatures, would be most willing to fight against it.
