...:::Ech·o·lo·ca·tion:::....

This was a scratch board piece done in Design I. I adore bats, and I thought the texture within their wings and their fluffy bodies would be fun to replicate! I also noticed a lot of big and small cats are used in scratch-boards, so I wanted to attempt an animal you don't see as much! I basically lightly sketched most of his silhouette in pencil, before going in and etching the rest of his details in.

This is an asymmetrical monochrome piece, which has stronger sense of unity to it. It lacks variety, but I didn't want to add to much background to take away from the bat itself!

Peeping Tom

One of my Organic Line Drawings (with some geometric thrown in).  It's also a small tribute to my Tuxedo Cat who passed away last year. I had her from before Kindergarten and well into College! I actually did this the day our professor was absent at home as practice. I did this by placing down shapes in Photoshop, before bringing it into Photoshop, where I locked the layer and began to color the cat inside. After I was finished with that I unlocked it to further finish the paw by making it appear to pop out from the box, then added whiskers.
This is an asymmetrical piece that uses both geometric and organic lines. The focal point is likely to be the eye which has more light and shading, bringing emphases to it.
I'd definitely like to go back and add more shading to the rest of the piece!
