Spirit animal drawing
Artist statement:
When I was thinking of what animal captured who I was, I knew right away I wanted to a deer to represent me. Deers are shy, one of my biggest traits, but also graceful and clever, the things I strive to be. When I think of a deer, I think of a doe eyed, curious animal, but with strength and wisdom. The deer is the totem of May, my birth month, and to confirm this idea, I took a quiz and sure enough, I got the deer. For the unusual setting, I chose a peaceful rainforest, to incorporate the zen element to me, adding bamboo and a waterfall. Even though I am shy, when I'm with my friends I'm loud and more of an extrovert, and to showcase that I decided to make the deer a bold purple, a shy and timid animal with bright colors that blend and glide, forever being mesmerized by it´s odd presence in a rain forest. To create this doe, I wanted to make sure I made the deer bold, so even though the deers quiet aspect represented me, it was balanced by the serenity of the rain forest. Having gemini as my Zodiac sign, Creating this balance was really important, so I worked to make the forest more realistic, leaving the doe to be more other worldly looking. Creating a rain-deer.
