Pick a single light source. Shade the areas facing away from it and remember to include a cast shadow on the ground to give the giraffe weight. 4. Community Participation

Focus on the constituing elements: the long neck, the ossicones (horns), and the unique leg joints.

Use instead of detail. For example, use quick dots or small shapes to represent windows or spots.
