My idea for this piece was mechanical bunnies on a stone pathway with bushes around it and the main bunny up front next to a flower coming out of the side. This piece was one of the harder ones to do this semester because it was my first time combining multiple pictures for a composition. Usually I just have a reference photo to go off of. The part that was the hardest was the metal. Metal has so many highlights and darks that when I usually do metal, I have one reference photo and I break the metal into different chunks and focus on the shapes of the different shades. So without a solid reference photo, it was hard to know where all the highlights and darks were supposed to go in order to make the metal look realistic. But these challenges have helped me grow as an artist and focus more on established a light source or multiple and how that effects the shades and highlights on the objects.
