The second in my Darwin series, this time a mountain gorilla. Again, the painting was done in a Moleskine sketchbook using micron pens and gouache.

This is my first submission after enjoying this site for the last 4 months. Everyone is so talented. This is one of a series of micron pen and gouache paintings of the great apes and their skulls to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and to demonstrate our animal ancestry. This was done in a Moleskine sketchbook, which although doesn’t take watercolour very well, is very good for opaque paints like gouache. I will continue to post more of the paintings in this series as time goes on.
