Abstract deer sketch
Hii it's day 36 of posting everyday challenge, here's a throwback post since the temperatures have been getting far too high for me to work as usual. Thank you for the support !
If you wish to recreate I suggest:
• using a thin paper that isn't high quality if you're a beginner
• art is about practice and making mistakes so don't be afraid of throwing out a few papers
• using a pencil that's on the harder side like most commonly used HB and using softer ones for details like B2
• references help understand how an object (in this case animal) presents itself, maintains balance etc.
• deer, (family Cervidae), any of 43 species of hoofed ruminants in the order Artiodactyla, notable for having two large and two small hooves on each foot and also for having antlers in the males of most species and in the females of one species.
• deer are native to all continents except Australia and Antarctica, and many species have been widely introduced beyond their original habitats as game animals.
• the word deer has been applied at times to species that are not cervids, such as the musk deer (Moschus) and mouse deer (Tragulus).
• deer are specialized herbivores, as is reflected in their large and anatomically complex digestive organs, their mobile lips, and the size and complexity of their teeth.
• the bias of deer toward high-quality food has its origin in the very high demands of antler growth for minerals, protein, and energy. Antlers are “bone horns” that are grown and shed annually.
• one species, the reindeer (also known as the caribou), has been domesticated.
• deer, when granted some protection, readily exploit man-made disturbances caused by agriculture, forestry, and urbanisation.
