Mandrill warrior done with mechanical pencil on 9x12 Bristol.
One of my favorite drawings! I was inspired after seeing the remake of planet of the apes. I know the mandrill is not an ape but I just could not resist. They are so cool looking and I just love those teeth, I figured one would make an excellent warrior. I went gung ho on the armor as I sometimes do but it complements his fur and helps give a bit of contrast. Not sure if I will ever get around to coloring this as it would be more of a personal thing.
