Photograph		Portrait Details
		Size: 12" x 19"
		Medium: Colored & graphite pencil & charcoal
		Animal: African White Rhinoceros
		Title: Behind Enemy Lines
Update 1		Update 2
Here the preliminary sketch is complete and I started adding color to the nose and eye.  Grey will be the predominant color for this rhinoceros although there will be light ochre highlights.		I added depth to the thick wrinkles of skin on the nose. The horn is beginning to  take it's 3 dimensional shape. Charcoal is added to the darkest parts in the ear, nostril and to define the crease of the wrinkles.
Update 3		Update 4
The larger folds of skin on the neck are beginning to take shape.  My hand seems to work randomly across the canvas, with no particular preference to where I add detail.  The only exception to this is that I almost always start with the eyes.		More to come soon...
