Sustained Investigation #8

For my #8 project for the sustained investigation project I wanted to do a mother gorilla and her baby walking through the rainforest with many colors to really show nature and animals. For my beginning process I really wanted to practice before I really started especially since gorillas faces and hands resemble a human and I knew for a fact I struggled with faces and hands so I wanted to practice to really make sure the gorillas came out realistic as possible. I liked how the sketches came out and I also experimented with size because I knew I had a hard time with small drawings because I could never get the detail into them like I wanted. I did find out that I do a lot better with larger drawings than smaller drawings during my sketching process so I'll be doing a larger scale painting for my project. For my sketches I only used a led pencil .
