What the Future Holds

What the Future Holds

I decided to add some color to my drawings. I used four colors in this drawing – black charcoal, white charcoal, sepia Conte, and dark sepia Cretacolor on 24”x18” bristol vellum paper.

When I decided to draw an orangutan, the director of RedApes.org contacted me about the drawing before I’d even begun, which gave me the idea for the drawing. “What the Future Holds” is symbolic of the plight of these most endangered of all the great apes. There are two species, the Sumatran (more endangered) and Bornean. This drawing represents the Bornean orangutan, whose hair is shorter and darker than its Sumatran relative. I will be donating a portion of my profits to orangutan conservation.
