Distorted Giraffe

     This giraffe is from a project base on distortion. I wanted to draw a distorted animal but also keep the image and beauty of the animal noticeable. I did not draw the body of the giraffe because the canvas was only 4x4 and I can't draw that small. I drew her with a big anime eye and curly hair. I kept all the normal characteristics of a giraffe as well; such as the horns, two ears, and a long muzzle and neck.
     I added in both elements and principles. I shaded, adding value and contrast. I also made defined lines to keep the shape of the animal more noticeable. Balance is kept as well. No color though, only value with a grayscale.
     This piece doesn't have a background story to it. She is just a distorted giraffe.
     I think this piece is okay. It's not my favorite but I think the giraffe is cute. It took me many trials and errors to get the right distorted shape and that turned out nice.
