Information about the Domestic Llama:

The domestic llama is descended from South American members of the camel family – Camelidae. It is widely used as a pack animal, as well as for it’s meat and of course it’s famous coat that is used in various textiles. They are larger mammals, with an average height of 5.5-6 feet tall (1.7-1.8 meters) at the top of the head weighing anywhere from 280 to 450 pounds (130-200 kilograms) The modern day llama is thought to have descended from ancestors that lived in North America about 40 million years year ago. These animals migrated southwards into South America. Their ancestors in North America eventually went extinct about 10,000 years ago, but the animals that had migrated south adapted to the environment, eventually being domesticated by the locals. Llamas are considered quite intelligent and are able to learn simple tasks and commands.

Artist’s notes:

The Domestic Llama was completed on 3.30.2013. I had started drawing some of your standard farm animals a few years ago, and when putting together some of the common animals of South American I decided the humble llama would be a good addition to the image library. Driving around California seeing llamas on farms isn’t an uncommon sight, and my dog Escher always loves to see them and whatever other animals one might see as you pass a farm. The distinctive coat of the llama was especially fun to render. The drawing is based on a photo by Ian Renton.
