I was just on GOOGLE and typed in Indian Elephants all Dressed up and found a load of pictures of elephants dressed up for Festivals. This should give you guys some ideas about painting elephants for Festivals  :o Willie

The African skin tones are great. Overall elephant is great as well but I would agree about the feet lighting, the two center feet should be in deeper shadow since they are shadowed by the elephant's body and cloth cover - assuming I'm reading the light direction correctly, of course.


Press on!

Are you a masochist to add such a difficulty to your painting which is already at the best ?
Against day is a real challenge
I can feel it on the elephant legs but not really on the rest of the figure
I remenber a Greg di Franco's Bonaparte you could look at

Not sure of the location of the light source: one foot of the elephant (back right is in the light, should be in shadow, or the back left, not both; the trunk below the mouth has lightening ?, is the light therefore not zenithal, or from the viewer side? ... not all are matching with one source, perhaps reflection of a sandy ground ...
Painting of the black skins is excellent

Excellent work!
The representation of the lights (even on the sole of the elephant) is very realistic.
I also like the lion's head!
Overall: well done!!!
