I focused on negative space to do this project. When I look at an object that I am going to draw, my brain tells me to start drawing the object itself. If you force your brain to draw the space around the object (negative space) it is a very different experience. I drew the negative space around the animals with a marker, then used the positive space to display an image and text for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

 

Using a thick, dark marker for this exercise made me really focus on each line as I drew... there is no erasing mistakes with a big magic marker.
