This is a sped-up video of making my charcoal Sketch for Survival entry for the 2024 competition by the Explorers Against Extinction. I chose to highlight the critically endangered Seychelles Sheath-Tailed Bat.
For this great competition, artists create artwork featuring endangered animals, and the winning works are sold to raise funds for conservation efforts. I'm happy to be finally joining in this year.
