I have always been fascinated by these ''Great apes'' The Orangutan is a loving carefree beast of the rain forests. Originally native to Indonesia and Malaysia, sadly, they are now only found in Borneo and Sumatra.
We could still learn a lot from the social bond their dependant offspring have with their mothers.
This sketch from my sketchbook depicts a scene of an extremely protective mother, cautiously investigating activity, having been recently disturbed by unwanted human activity.
