Hello, I’m Sipho

I sketch animals in ink, outdoors, from the waterhole, the dry riverbed and the camp where I sleep at night. I sit still with a small notebook, a pen and a bottle of black ink, and I draw what walks past. At home I take the best sketches and finish them with cross-hatching and a little ink wash.

I write a letter every week with the newest drawing and how I made it. What I sell is the part you can use: field sketch templates, an ink wash guide, animal reference sheets, a track cheat sheet, night camp pages, a set of prints, a bundle of the basics and two video courses, one for sketching animals in the field and one for finishing them in ink. I do not take commissions. I show you how to draw your own.
