I really liked the original rhino, so I went back and redid him, experimenting with different styles and colors. The shading in #2 made his general shape really great, but it was harder to show the wrinkles realistically--my dad pointed out that he looks somewhat like a computer animation, before the detail is added. In #3 I tried using color, which turned out well. I wanted a more dramatic look, so I tried one more time, and #4 started out looking a lot like the original. This time, though, I colored in the sketchy lines of his skin, like shadows. The stark outlines around the shadows made him look as though he was standing in extremely bright light, which was way cool, and very striking.

PS. Check back for more Rhinos, in different media and styles.
