Animal Portraits

As a teenager, I taught myself to draw, and recently I rediscovered it. I love to draw animals, both with pencil and colored pencils. Animals – and plants too – have such a special beauty, and it makes me sad and angry at the same time that we endanger them with our way of life.

I drew these small animal portraits for my nephews. My younger nephew said the snow leopard was his coolest birthday present ever. He just turned nine :)
