Description

I had read a collection on Indian American stories called "Trickster" and they used a lot of animals and spirits. I decided to do an animal and spirit story. This is the animal story.

this is one of my favorite stories i've done.

I don't exactly remember HOW I developed the story but I know I figured it all out in the thumbnail process.

I also did an extensive amount of studies of squirrels and bird to understand the basic of their structures. The drawing in these stories are MY birds and squirrels wih no reference used for them.


This technique I developed in Painting 2 class when i had to do a project and the painting required I do extensive drawing studies of invisible parts of my story because the painters I was connecting where master drawers. Jean-Leon Gerome and Gustav Klimt. I was suppose to do two paintings based on a fictional conversation between them.


I took it to Staples and got the page printed.
