Hello! Firstly, I would like to say that your drawings are amazingly accurate, and that shows a lot of work and dedication.
That being said, it would be great if you could credit the work of the people who went through all the trouble, pain, danger, expenses and time to take the original photos and make a little bit clearer what your own contribution to the art is. Even more so when your photo recreations are available to buy in printed form. I see that other users commented about this, and you did share the photographers name, but a name or link in the description would be a lot more appropriate.
For example, this is a recreation of one of Nick Brandt's photo titled "Elephant drinking", taken in Amboseli, in 2007 , and has quite an interesting story behind it.(link:Β www.facebook.com/161975326086/β¦ )

I would swear this was an old photo. The attention to details and the way you capture texture is amazing.

You really are a master at capturing texture in your drawings, as well as the quiet majestic quality ofΒ this elephant. I admire the dedication to providing every detail, and the commitment of time in order to do this. All of your drawings are absolutely superb examples of skill mastery. Bravo!
