It's National Orangutan Day!
Did You Know?
We share 97% of our D.N.A. with orangutans, making
them one of humanity's closest relatives. Also, unlike
other big apes such as chimps, gorillas, and bonobos,
orangutans do not prefer to live in groups — a female
will typically have a baby (or two), whereas males
prefer to be alone.

I decided to create a digital illustration using CS6 Photoshop of a young Orangutan. Usually I and put a lot of detail in the background, but I had a go at simplifying it a tad by having a continuous line for the texture of the bark. As well as adding greyscale shading to create a sense of depth. I hope you like it!
