Drawing of a giraffe

I created a portrait of a giraffe and and ox pecker (a small African bird) using Faber Castell Matt Graphite Pencils and Staedtler Lumograph Mars Pencils on Strathmore 400 11 x 14 drawing paper. I used a small blending stump and a Tombow monozero eraser to add to the detailing and highlights.
