For this week in art, our assignment was to combine an animal and an everyday object into one full-page pencil drawing. I combined an ostrich and a pedestal table.
I like this drawing, I think it’s wacky and unique but I do have some criticism. The proportions of the ostrich are more cartoon-like than I would like. The head is too large and the neck too short and i had trouble capturing the look of feathers.
