The Hungry Duck

Description

This is my second project for my Art 123: Descriptive Drawing class. We were suppose to draw something all in contour lines and then render only a portion of it. I decided to do a drawing of a duck eating a slice of bread off my thigh. If you look closely, the texture of the shorts I was wearing is all contoured while the duck and bread slice is rendered and junk. We were also suppose to title our drawing and so well, I titled this "The Hungry Duck." I mean, hey! That duck was hungry and pretty much stole my sandwich! THE MONSTER!!!1

This drawing was truly an eye-opener for me. This drawing was redone twice after realizing that I'm not all that good at pencil drawing as I thought I was; and if I didn't catch up with the rest of the class, I would probably fail (or get a D+/-... which is still unacceptable). During the classroom critique, mine was very weak compared to all the talent around the room. I was very embarrassed and fixed the drawing up, adding an extra 3 hours of work to make it to "decent." My grade on this project went from a C- to a B.

Critique if you want.

Time: 11 hours.
Medium: Graphite on 11x14-inch bristol board.
Rejected first attempt: [link] (I gave it to my stress management professor. HAHAHAHA!)
