‹ misfortune of my tasty blood • there you are! (art recipe 2) ›
giraffe in process.
colour pencils on paper.
when i want to draw animals, i usually get some photo books from the library. but today, i got a sudden impulse to draw the image popped out in my mind. the image was featuring giraffe. i needed to draw it right away so i searched giraffe photos on google. i found one photo of giraffe that i thought attractive. i looked at the photo for a while. now i was ready to draw from my memory. i looked at the photo once a while to check colours and details.
luckily, i’ve never paid any attentions to giraffe before. so i didn’t have any bias or memories about them. i found it much easier to draw giraffe than paul’s face.
this giraffe is rather ugly + pretty = perfect combinations. i ended up making my giraffe more grotesque than the one on the photo.
my kind of giraffe.
i’ll show you the final drawing tomorrow.
update: there you are!
