You are going to create an animal design using ink/pen, color pencils, gold (silver) paint, and coffee.

You are going to combine realistic drawing with highly decorative.

Start with finding an image of an animal. Image should be "full-body", not just a face or cropped picture.... Look for silhouettes!

Draw an outline of your animal with a pencil on a 12x18 drawing paper.

Add necessary details (eyes, horns, ears, etc...)

Divide the outline into at least 12 areas. Do not use straight lines.

Double the division lines.

Choose at least 6 areas that you want to be realistic. Use color pencils. Incorporate different blending techniques to achieve the 3-D look.

The rest of the areas will be filled in with patterns and designs using ink and pen.

Each area should be different.

 

Leave the "double-lines" blank.

Craftsmanship is an important part of this assignment!

This is what it should look like at this point.

Fill in some (or all) double-lines with gold (silver) paint.

You can add some paint to your patterns. Do not overdo it though!!!

Stay within the lines while painting.

Use pen and ink to add more designs over the paint.

Use a variety of designs.

Tape your artwork to a table.

Use coffee to apply washes to the background.

Matt the project.

Done!
