project
brief
This project explored different strategies of represent an animal through mark making. I represented an elephant 16 different ways with markers, colored pencils, non-traditional surfaces and tools, ink, paint, and other various means. For each category I created a minimum of 12 sketches and refined until the final mark. These marks had to clearly identify my animal and meet the requirements of the category. This project challenged my creativity and the way I see mark making. Here you will find the evolution of my sketches and my final 16 concepts.
