Assignment #13: Animal Self Portrait

Due: next week at the beginning of class

You are to choose your favorite animal. Be sure to choose one that is fascinating, and which also has immediately recognizable visual characteristics.  You are to make self-portrait as that animal. Note: animal cartoons do not count (no Pikachu or Scooby-doo, for example).

This project comes in two parts. 
1. The first part involves you finding an image of your chosen animal and making an accurate and precise drawing of that image so that it fills a page in your sketchbook.  You may use any media appropriate.
2. The second part involves making a self-portrait as that animal using the first image as a point of departure for the second (it must also fill a sketchbook page).  You are to make it clear in your drawing that the second drawing is you, while at the same time keeping it recognizable as that animal.

To recap: make a drawing of an animal, and then make a drawing of you as that animal.

Standards of craftsmanship will be very high for these last few projects.  Spend as much time as appropriate for each drawing.  Take pride in your sketchbooks!  They will be a valuable asset to your transfer portfolios.
