Description Just a bit of fun, thought of doing something different so I took an old drawing of some elephants and made it a silhouette then messed about with a random pattern I found in one of my old sketchbooks.

Looks like one of those lino cut prints.
It'd make a good T-shirt or clothing print.

Excellent! Really like the colors and the patterns.
The African patterns do establish the tone. The natural progression to the back sets it up nicely. Well done!!!

veeeeeery gooooood!
1 - the colours
2 - the composition
3 - the pattern
4 - the number of elephants
5 - the elephants 'are' black
6 - the african sun mystery

thanks, I don't even know why I even did this, just thought that a bit of messing about in Photoshop would do me some good, glad you and quite a few others like it
