Until Further Notice
Kate hadn’t seen another scavenger hunter in more than an hour. She looked at the clue once more: Four on the floor, stillness amidst the flow of time.
Turning towards the sound of running water, Kate eventually exited the woods, coming to the creek. I only need the last item! She flipped an imaginary coin, turning upstream, soon spotting the chair. She trotted into the water, hoping she was first. She found a note taped underneath the seat.
“Until further notice, celebrate everything.”
Smiling, Kate returned the note to its envelope, deciding to share the sentiment with those who followed.

I sketched a rhinoceros based on the image in the book The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals by Joe Weatherly.
Next I decided to sketch a closeup, on my own: no video, no book, no instructions. This isn’t as detailed as I wanted it to be. It was hard. Actually, they are all hard for me and take a lot of effort. I look forward to drawing this again, when I have more experience.
