Giraffes

Drawn on my tablet. I bought another book about drawing. The new one is called '20 ways to draw a cat and 44 other awesome animals' by Julia Kuo. It's not a step by step book about how to draw but it shows how you could draw the same animal in different ways. The giraffe above is my interpretation of one shown in the book.
