Artist Statement
This is a piece in a series where I aimed to capture the soul and the beauty of wild animals. To capture the essence and emotional energy, I drew the gorilla directly facing the viewer, and put more emphasis on making the eyes more vibrant and alive.To show the raw beauty of the creature I completed the face with floral and other nature inspired ornaments.
Working with ink and pen it allowed me to bring out more fine details in areas I wanted to put more emphasis on, such as the eyes. The piece was finally completed digitally with large brush strokes and coloring.
