This is not a legit question since you will never find an elephant with one hand
Woodpecker Plateau is a beautiful piece, depending on the artist, unfortunately.
However, I am not quite sure of your question? What exactly is your question?
Answer:
Drawing from life is wonderful because you get to fully experience your subject. Compare the difference between drawing from a photograph of a person and drawing that person in real life. If you draw from direct observation, you would get to talk to the person, hear their voice, and learn about their personality.
