African Wild dogs are my favourite! This is so cute, I love Ardi's feet-hands in particular, and the detail of the fur is just amazing.

Thanks, I really enjoyed drawing the feet, they are also anatomically accurate, they have both human and chimp proportions, I based it on some the Science articles I had read about Ardipithecus ramidus.
All the best,
Blair

Hm, I'm a bit confused, what is an AWD? OH! An African Wild Dog! Ha ha, I had some vehicle abbreviation stuck in my head there, sorry. Yes, they're a wonderful species, it's so sad their numbers are decreasing.

Thanks Elsa,
I haven't drawn many dogs, which is surprising, since I have two wonderful dogs and I have always had dogs.
Thanks,

Sometimes you just don't draw certain animals for no reason - even if you love them. I've always had cats as pets and I never draw domestic cats. Lions, tigers etc, yes, but cats, no. And I don't know why!

Cute is good, lol. I don't mind cute. So many people draw early hominids that look ugly and brutish. You stuck to that facts of the fossil record very well, but you made this little fellow look like a likable person. You made him look like a child with a personality. I love it.

Thanks Drag,
I'm so happy you liked them, I was going to add apple cores to show that Ardi was full and about to nap, but I forgot to draw the sweet apples! maybe I'll add them later. Thanks again...
All the best,

The fur on Arni is just perfect. It really makes it look so lifelike and amazing. This entire piece is just wonderful.

Thanks good buddy,
I should've put Bear in the scene. I am glad he's chewing "cigar-like" sticks instead of people's feet.

Thanks Amy,
It was fun to draw a Wild dog, The patterns were a bit challenging to draw though.
Thanks again for the very kind words.
