Concentration #8

For this project I had the idea to write something more satirical with my poetry. I got the idea of having a moose hunt the human, which we do not see in this reality. I liked imagining how switching this scenario would look and how it would feel to no longer be the top of the food chain. I incorporated the phrase "ready, aim, fire" as it is commonly used on gun ranges. I started my artwork by looking at reference pictures of moose and guns in order to get an understanding of how I wanted my composition to look. Once I had the moose outlined in pencil, I took pictures of my hands to reference while drawing the fingers. The perspective of this piece is from the person getting shot by the moose. After everything was in pencil, I went in with a tortillion to add shading and depth to the moose, gun, and trees. With a pen I went and outlined everything again to make each object bolder.

I chose not to add color to this piece because I wanted to take a break and didn't feel it would have fit well with the concept. I also did this drawing on watercolor paper and didn't like the idea of watercolor on this piece.
