My final project: Giraffe

As a topic of my project I selected a giraffe, because it's for me very extraordinary animal which I have never trayed to portray.
First I wanted to act as a detective and learn at least a few ways how to portray such animal. Then when I selected a reference I liked the most I tried to simplify it's shape so it could feet more a style I was targeting. After a few tries and giving myself some time, I decided that I will try not only to create a head, but also whole body in stylized manner.
After final sketch I decided I will solve this using vector graphics in Inkscape.
First I trayed solving shapes with 7 shades of gray. After that I went to coloring. I admit I didn't keep values that much, but I still tried to use as little colors as possible.

Thank you Pablo Lobato. I really head a lot of fun doing this course. Thanks to you I could rediscover joy of creating art again.
