This is a small experiment in which I create very expressive portraits of certain animals using very heavy amounts of texture. It's a different approach to how I usually draw because I typically like to make detailed and specific line work, but in this case I'm working on creating something that is both loose and yet identifiable. It is in trying trying to prevent the looseness of it from becoming too specific where I found the biggest challenge, but that is what made this series all the more enjoyable and enlightening for me.
