For this project we had to pick which animal best represented us, and personally I found it was the fox. I started with painting in the background using tempura and then I inked in the lines using a calligraphy pen. In this project I feel that the most important element was value. I attempted to make the lines darker or closer together in certain areas, for example where the legs meet the body, to make it look more 3D. This helps to show the shape of the animal instead of a simple sillhouette. The skill that I really used the most in this project is using a calligraphy pen. I have personally never used one before, and being able to control the pen and make the lines thick or tin really adds to the overall image. All of these things help to make my project look clean, have value and dimension, and to represent me. I feel like I have expressed my curious, excited, and shy personality through this animal and the color choice that I chose for the background.
