What was the inspiration for this drawing?
Unfortunately, as Herman was my mother's dog, prior to my birth, I was unable to meet him in person. That being said, my mother’s passionate description of his beautiful personality and appearance inspired me to replicate his presence in a drawing, of which I could present to her. This drawing provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate my ability to use grid scaling and shading to produce an accurate portrayal of something I had no physical contact with or the ability to research. This taught me to be adaptive within my skills and reflect on emotion as a guidance of art- not just a picture from online.
How I produced this drawing:
An original photograph was captured, however, the image of Herman was very small. I scaled up the image to get the correct proportions then used pencils to complete the correct shading.
