Amazing Animals Project

Assignment: Amazing Animals
Description: With the animal of your choice, create 4 iterations of that animal. photorealistic, logo, gestural, and transformation. Black and white only. 
Photorealistic: The first time I have done a grayscale drawing this detailed. Was definitely challenging but felt it turned out really well. 
Gesture: Use any materials of your choosing to create an abstract image of your design. I used a stippling brush to create the feathery texture to my hummingbird bird. Was also able to use larger canvases to draw at a much larger scale to get as much texture as possible.
Logo: These are my rough logos that I created using sharpie. The goal was to pick one that could handle stress with shrinkablilty and still look like a hummingbird and look lively.
Decided to combine number 16 and 17 and vectorize to have clean lines and to be able to maneuver the shape to my desired logo. 
Transformation: I liked the idea of the hummingbird being a stork caring a baby, but since the humming bird is so small, it is like an ultra tiny baby.
Finally, all of my iterations together
thank you!
