Completed, Step 6. It took about... I don't know how long, but not too long. The reason the time span between the last step and this one, is because I just sort of forgot to put it up. I may still do a few touch-ups, but I think I'm satisfied for now.

Charcoal!

*Edit:

"*It is estimated there are less than 10,000 bonobos remaining in the wild. These endangered apes all live in the humid forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The last great ape to be discovered, the bonobo is an endangered species that may soon vanish from the forests of Africa if current or future conservation efforts fail.

The bonobo is endangered due to habitat loss and hunting for bushmeat. Bushmeat is the term commonly used for meat of wild land animals, killed for subsistence or commercial purposes throughout the humid tropics of the Americas, Asia and Africa. Killing bonobos for bushmeat has significanly increased significantly due to the current civil war taking place in the DRC.

The bonobo is one of the two species of chimpanzee, the other species is the Common Chimpanzee. It was discovered in 1928, by American anatomist Harold Coolidge.

Of all the apes, the bonobos are the most closely related to humans.They are capable of passing the mirror-recognition test for self-awareness and they communicate through primarily vocal means. But they also use hand gestures to communicate as well.

Two bonobos have been taught a vocabulary of about 400 words, which they can type using a special keyboard. Using this keyboard, they can also respond to spoken questions. *

Let's save Bonobos."

Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again!

Thanks! :)
Too many wrinkles. D;
