I watched Jason Polan’s instructional video and then I drew a giraffe. My giraffe has a tail. It also has block-patterned skin covering its entire body. It took me six minutes, and I wish I’d had some colored pencils. But basically, I’ve drawn the best giraffe a person could ever hope to draw.
Anyone who cares to challenge me, has until May 12th to send in a better drawing of a giraffe. The best giraffe will be posted online and will win a Wholphin t-shirt, a free subscription, and a never-yet-seen Wholphin film. But really, who are we kidding? You probably shouldn’t even bother.

that IS a pretty sexy giraffe. i plead no contest.
I am impressed by this. So impressed indeed that I took time off from the crocodile I am knitting to examine it more closely. Are you considering it as substitute for the motor car? If so I would be interested in a blue one running on two giraffepower.
When will the giraffe contest be over and judged? I am so very much looking forward to seeing all the entries and the Victor in all this.

i would make love to that giraffe, thats a good thing right?
…glory.
fuck i can’t type.
Little known fact. It takes 8.31 minutes for a Giraffe to swallow a sunflower seed which is exactly how long it takes sunlight to reach the Earth. Now tell me that’s a coincidence!
You used the table you drew it on as a still-life model, didn’t you?
