My objective was to create an animal by using shapes and abstract tribal techniques. This piece of work will catch the eyes of fans of abstract art and animal lovers. It also resembles a tribal inspired tattoo. This image could also be used as an interesting logo for alcohol or hot spicy food labels.
The creative purpose was to create an animal without thinking what it may turn into. I used a black pen, creating contrast using the positive and negative space. The obstacle was that I didn't want to use one shape. Here several shapes represent the texture and details of the animal. This process continued until the final result revealed itself.
