ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Camel

The camel is a large mammal perfectly adapted to life in the arid and extreme conditions of deserts and semi-deserts. Its recognizable appearance is given by its long, curved neck and legs, and its hump. Its fur can range from sandy to dark brown, and its wide, calloused feet allow it to move easily over shifting sands.
