Object iterations Left: I wanted to get a feel for the great-horned owl in my own style so I drew this to get warmed up and inspired. Right: Blind-Contour and continuous line drawings end up ridiculously funny looking, but are a great practice tool!
This project was our chance to think broadly about the object we chose before thinking deeply. We were to be experiment with a wide variety of media that would effectively show the essence of our object. I had chosen the Great-Horned Owl as the subject of my project. I wanted to gather as much information as I could on the creature from where its natural habitat were to what the owl symbolized in different cultures. Collecting images of the creature was next because I had to see what the owl looked like in different poses. Taking notes of all the major characteristics helped because it helped distinguished the greathorned owl from other owls and would help in expanding my knowledge of the owl.
