Sustained Investigation #10

For my sustained investigation #8-#10 I have been working on a mother gorilla with her baby. I chose to draw gorillas because of there colors, not only can I use different shades of black but I can also use different shades of blues and purples.

So far I've used a reference image and sketched out the scenery around the gorillas with a led pencil.

This time I didn't use a grid and instead just sketched out the drawing and I think it came out pretty good for a sketch because I just got the basics done. My next steps are to start adding color and the details into the scenery and then after that do the same process with the gorillas.
