Here is the kanji character for zō (elephant) for those who want to practice their calligraphy.
This is a relatively simple sketch of an elephant for practice.
For this painting, I used mostly mōkkōtsu-hō and senbyō-hō. This is the equivalent of the kōrokutensai-hō technique, a combination of the two others. It doesn't matter which is done first. My guidance below tells what I did, but it is your choice about how to do it.
