Usually I feel giddily excited to announce the rarity of a drawing opportunity, but this time that excitement is tinged with another feeling. For the rarity of the subjects of this session is because they are sadly the very last two animals of their species. 

Najin and her daughter Fatu are the last Northern White Rhinos in existance. They are a living reminder to us to do better and I think are going to prove to be the most beautiful and inspiring models.

@kaushman visited Najin & Fatu in person last year and is kindly allowing us the opportunity to draw from some of the footage and photographs that he captured during that time. Having drawn from Kaushik's work before (remember those sleeping underwater seals?!), I know that we are in for a real treat!

All levels of creatives are welcome to these sessions and there is never any pressure…
