Final Piece - Life Drawing


This is a 25 minute 4B graphite pencil study of a taxidermy red squirrel non-human figure. The study accurately depicts the skeletal structure of the animal; with the head connecting naturally to the spine, and following through into the tail showing that it would be balanced, and the front and back limb joints visible under the fur in a positions that make sense in relation to their positions along the spine; this is also the line that the viewers eye follows across the image. The high contrasting values give the animal a more 3D realistic form and the quickly drawn pencil lines give the squirrel a naturally furry look.
