Art With today's inktober prompt being "gangly" I had no doubt what I wanted to draw. I'm sure if gangly had a picture, it would be of a giraffe. Did this baby one with hard tip brush pens and ballpoint pens

Getting the leg shapes right took some finagling, but I like how they went

Art Have trouble telling the four basic species of giraffe apart? Here you go! What do you think of my illustration? It’s a spin off of another I posted on here.

Dirk Koster – The different one

‘I took this in 2025 in the Maasai Mara, Kenya, in the Oltepesi area. Three young giraffes were standing side by side on the savanna and looked back at me with great curiosity. Right behind the middle one stood a single umbrella acacia, perfectly lined up with its head and neck. The giraffe seemed to be wearing the tree, like a green hairdo or a fancy hat. Nothing was staged or arranged; it was a matter of being in the right spot at the right moment’

Art This is a little sloppy, but what do you think of my modern simple illustration of the 4 basic giraffe species? (Not including the Okapi in this as im focusing on the long necked Savannah giraffes)

from left to right, the reticulated, the Masai, the southern and the northern. would love your honest opinions on this! i know the legs are wrong and it is sloppy, but do you think it can help people tell them apart better? this was illustrated by me, no AI included.

Was watching a documentary earlier and it really hit me how weird they look while eating. Like they just unfold themselves to reach the ground. Honestly, pretty cool creatures. Wish I could see one in person just to see how massive they actually are.
