Plodding Along

 9x12in colored pencil.

Elephants move slowly and surely plodding along one firm step after another. They don't have the agility to run after everything they see the way dogs do when you let them off the leash. So this picture somewhat became my mantra as I was nearing the end of my undergraduate degree. There were a lot of hurdles and the cumulative information from the major began weighing heavily on my brain but as I drew this picture I resolved to continue plodding along, undaunted, little by little. No, I didn't make any huge leaps or breakthroughs but I did manage to plod my way through graduation.
