This was a project for class that we had to do. The idea was to create a half human and half animal. Yes...unfortunately I came up with the slimy snail...who know's of snails that are beautiful right? So this was what I came up with. I've always hated using pencils...but I've found that it definitely is worth the grueling time and shading...there are still a lot of things I need to work on...like shadow and form...but I'm slowly getting there. I also need to work on getting the scan machine right...since I cut off some of the edges...so it looks like she's totally off balanced in the picture!
and i love the cross hatching on it.
