Beautiful closeup image of a white cheeked gibbon ape done in pastels, based on a photo taken by the artist. Closeup pastel artwork of this endangered species primate focuses on the beauty and intelligence, seen in its eyes and fierce expression. Gibbons have a characteristic crest of hair which makes them look like they are sporting mohawks. White cheeked gibbons, like their name, have white hair along the sides of their faces and black hair over the rest of their bodies. They are often confused with monkeys, although they are apes. They are sometimes called lesser apes, because of their smaller size. They are found naturally in forests in Asia. This wildlife pastel is done in the natural colours of the white cheeked gibbon- black, white, creams, greys, browns, and tans found in his fur and eyes. A natural forest makes up the background. Personalise if you like, with a name, saying, location, etc. We also have this animal art on other gifts for animal lovers and also gibbon ape invitations, postage stamps, and lots more.
