Giraffe
A giraffe is not at all clumsy reaching the highest, greenest and sweetest leaves, but getting a drink is a different story.

This is a digital image created to look like a relief print (wood or linoleum block). There are five layers. The line layer (dark brown), leaves (green), shading (warm grey), spots (med brown), and body (yellow).

The pencil drawing that was scanned into the computer and used as a template to create the line layer.

warm grey layer | This layer would be difficult to print traditionally because of the change in value.

I like to see the layers when they are seperated, it’s really cool to see the process.
