The prompt for Illustration Friday this week is, “music.” I remembered a small elephant sketch I did a long time ago (I think it was with a crayon on a paper table cloth at a restaurant). I found the original sketch, which was okay, but I felt it needed a bit more. Here’s the sketch:
Original Trumpeting Elephant Sketch
Here’s my updated version (note – it looks small compared to the original sketch, but it’s actually 22″ long!):
Trumpeting Elephants
I had so much fun doing this and I like how it turned out. I’m going to put it in my portfolio the next time I update it.

Sketching on tablecloths – how very Toulouse Lautrec!

Thank you Sascratch, Asja, and Jessie!!!
Thanks Courtney! I’ve been trying out different palettes lately, and purple is one of my favorite colors
Thank you Adrienne! I didn’t think about Toulouse Lautrec. Ha. I was just excited about the paper and crayons. I love restaurants that do that. I usually take the ones I like home with me and the waiters/waitresses always look at me like I’m crazy.
