Duck Stamp

Artist Statement: 

The assignment for this project was to draw a scientifically accurate duck. So I tried to look at many different resources for different parts and angles of the duck and tried to make sure that my colors and shapes were accurate. 

For this project, I only used colored pencils. This was the main material I used just because I am comfortable and familiar with colored pencils and I know how to use them well. I wanted to use a material I was familiar with because since this project was supposed to be as accurate as you could make it, I did not want to mess up something and not be able to figure out a way to incorporate it because I could not make anything up. 

The process of this work was pretty simple, I think the only thing I changed was the position of the duck, at first I wanted my duck to be standing up, but as I worked a little more I realized it would be better for my duck to be swimming, so I re-positioned my duck to make sure that was possible.
