I like your elephant sketch, Miranda! I'm glad that my revew will help this piece to reach recognized status! You worked for about 5 days and it turned out very good! The light and shadow part is great. All the proportions are realistic. Perfect composition. Bravo!!!

Very nice drawing and your patience is evident. The shadows add realism and it's obvious the elephant is in motion. Without an indication of a field or road, however, he does seem to be floating. Just one simple line, even halfway across the paper, would give your mammal more solid footing.

I love how you captured this beautiful creature. He is well drawn and very proportionate. Nice shadows and contrast throughout. The angle lets you see how vast he is as he struts. Great artwork, Miranda. Good luck in the contest.

Nice drawing of an elephant. Good shading with some good detail work in places. I like the overall shape of him but his right hind leg and onto his belly I find confusing. Good job!

I always consider art in the eye of the beholder. It is a conception of the artist themselves. Proportionately it needs a little more work on the head and legs but shading and tone look great. I gave 5 stars for effort. Elephants can be hard to draw. Like I said, art is in the perception of the viewer and creator. I like it, it has character. :)
