It took a lot of thought for me to come up with what i wanted to do as my concentration. I kept going back to animal portraits because i do really enjoy drawing animals a lot and that is what i am better at, but im not to crazy about prismas or painting. Then i kept going back to the mechanical nature project where i made the mechanical wolf which i really enjoyed doing, and how i incorporated design into the fur. Then i started thinking about what animal i could maybe work with to get the same kind of concept going and then i thought about horses. Could incorporate the design into the mane of the horse and then i decided that would be my concentration. Incorporating design into animals with pen work. So for my first concentration piece i did a close up of a horse wearing a halter, and in the background i did trees but to make the trees look different as well i made the trees spirally. I really am very happy with this piece and i really really enjoyed doing it. I think that i really enjoy working in pen, i like the way that you can create value using just one color, and i like how clean you can make something in pen really look if that is the style that you are going for. What i had difficulty with however, is creating a greater contrast between the horse and the background trees. Also, it is very hard to force yourself to go darker and darker with the shadows and certain parts of the horse like eyes even though the darker, more contrast, and more detailed it is will only help the piece to look as good as possible. I really enjoyed making this piece and am confident that i chose the right concentration for me bc its something i like to draw and its something i wont get tired of doing eaither.
