Wasn't esactly expecting this LOL!! I could not stand drawing people but I guess we live and we learn right? Well anyways this was a female model I drew from using pastel paper and Conte' Crayons. Oh and by the way I have never had beginning figure drawing class until now but this was done in intermediate figure drawing class... crazy how I am taking both at the same time but yet still proceed to prosper thank you Jesus!
Taking a step away from wolves the most recent oil painting of an animal that I produced was this elephant who's tusks seem so realistic as to the rest of the body and background seem unreal. I wanted it to seem as if the elephant was coming out of it dream world (the painting) and starting to emerge into the real world starting with its tusks. For people who may not see it, if you take a look at his feet and especially his trunk the detail wrinkles are missing as differed from the tusks that have a realistic look to them because of the variations of colors and tones.
A lot of my paintings have much movement throughout them and this is a perfect example here that you can see in my brushwork. The eyes of these 2 pack mates seem as if they are looking up at the viewer which symbolize the that God made man above animal.
I created this piece during an art history lecture to let the words of my teacher move through me to my paint brush.
