This was the first image: I fed a baby calf this summer so I wanted to convey that.
Then this was a more simplified version of the first.
This was my "new" idea then I got some advice from my teacher by the doodles lower on the page.
This was my sketch page on some different things that I could do for the 1st story and then starting on the second story.
The second story is about the festival called The Roots and Blues and BBQ festival in Columbia, MO. I have been to the festival every year it has been running and it is amazing thing to look forward to, usually it is in the fall months this year it is in October so incorporating the October month with some visual elements that go along with what I think of as Blues music.
Trying to perfect it even more. Trying different eyes to see if the calf's eyes can look more baby like.
Even more calves. One of them does have vampire teeth yes, I was getting a little agitated with the look of the eyes. :) It adds some variety.
Narrowing it down to a few less things in the design of the pumpkin.
I chose to only do one of my ideas the calf idea. This is the final scan into the computer to then change it in Illustrator.
My Final project :)
So, do you farm? Do you eat meat? Is it harder when you have a little mothering experience with the calf to think of eating it?
ReplyDeleteYes we are farmers, and yes we eat the meat we raise. I've had a couple experiences before this with raising calves and every time I have raised them we sell them so as to not think about eating them. Getting attached is always a problem & we don't eat something if we are attached to it. But they are a lot of cattle on the farm so usually it isn't a problem to not get attached.
