Zentangle
My artwork is a lion and the primary focus is the mane since it is a very close up drawing of a lion. The elements that are obvious in my work are line and shapes. The principles that are the most obvious throughout my artwork are pattern, contrast, and balance. I was inspired to create this piece because my favorite animal has always been a lion, and I've seen them as powerful and beautiful animals. My goals while creating this piece were to create interesting patterns and be calm and relaxed while doing them, since that is the goal of zentangle patterns. This piece did help me achieve my goals because while creating this I was very calm throughout the process. What I learned in creating this artwork is that it is important to pay close attention to details. This piece will influence my future artworks because it taught me to be patient and put detail into areas.
