APRIL THE GIRAFFE

Hi folks! Today I'd like to share with you an art journal page featuring the one and only April!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard about (or been obsessively watching!) April, the pregnant giraffe at Animal Adventure Park near Harpursville, New York in the US!
                            

                         
I've loved watching her and her mate Oliver as she prepares to bring a baby giraffe into the world!

                      

I hand drew and coloured April myself, and tried to approximate her markings too!
