Daily Drawing Challenge: Day 29 - Chimpanzee [Ape]

Hello everyone! Greetings to you all.

For today's theme which is ape, I chose to draw chimpanzee which is my favourite among others.

These species of great ape reside in the tropical rain forests of East and West Africa. They are usually black in color though some develop grey when they get old.

Chimps are the most social of all apes. They groom each other daily which helps to solidifying their bonds with each other and improve their social life. Source

The drawing was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper.
