Beisa Oryx Sketch

Oryx beisa     Choroa


Every antelope I draw, I say is my favourite, but the Oryx is my favourite favourite!
The long, straight horns spring out above the skull-like mask of black and off-white. Each individual has a different face-pattern.
These individuals are drinking from puddles at the edge of the Uaso Nyiro river, drawn from the bridge which links Samburu to Buffalo Springs.
