This is a simple drawing of a young deer standing still. Its fur is light brown, almost tan, and its legs are darker. The artist used quick, loose lines for the legs and body, but the head is drawn carefully. The deer looks calm, with its head turned slightly to the side. The background is just a plain, light color—no extra details. If you like this style, check out more work by Skeaping, John Rattenbury.
