Elegant Antelope Portrait Sketch

This elegant pencil sketch captures the profile of an antelope, focusing on its distinctive head and spiraling horns. The antelope's face is rendered with meticulous detail, showing the texture of its fur, the alertness in its eye, and the subtle contours of its muzzle. The horns are a prominent feature, depicted with their characteristic ridges and graceful curve. Loose, gestural lines around the animal suggest a natural, wild environment without being fully defined, drawing attention to the subject itself.
