Transformation Project examples



                                































This could have been an "A" drawing, but in this piece while the beetle, idea, and transformations are all very good, it isn't a finished work as there is no consideration for the negative space/ back ground.
































While the giraffe drawing above is very good, see how much more dynamic the giraffes on the right are. The orientation of the page accentuates the length of the necks. Also, because the animals are not perfectly lined up, it creates better overlapping and a more interesting composition.
