It took me a really long time to come up with an idea for this project actually but then i started thinking about animals with spots and how i could make the spots have all of these different patterns and designs incorporated into the animal. Giraffes obviously have a lot of spots so i thought why not a giraffe. I wanted to do two giraffes because that seems to be more compositionally appealing. First i drew the giraffes out in pencil and then went over top with sharpie and then erased the pencil from the paper. Then i started drawing in all of the different patterns and the facial features of the giraffes, and then began shading to add the dimension and value to their bodies. I never ever think about what i am going to do in the background of any of my pieces so then i got stuck on that, but then nicole gave me the idea to do those wierd savannah trees that are all scraggly and crazy so that was fun. Then there was all of this open white space so i just filled it will grass and elephants by the trees. Overall i think that this piece turned out pretty well and i'm pretty happy with it.
