The Ode Series

Illustrate a technical illustration by combining two distinctly different organisms/objects. The object/organism chosen for this subject is an elk and a cherry blossom tree. Elks are known to have antlers; therefore, using a cherry blossom tree in place of the antlers was a perfect placement. Various types of techniques were used to illustrate the subject. Cross-hatching is used to show depth in the shadows of the elk’s chin and jawlines. Circling and scribbling were used on the cherry blossom barks to create the texture of the tree. This not only gives the illustration depth but also gives the drawing realism. The three books in this series are The Ode series - The Ode of the Elkerry, The Ode of the Meorsa, The Ode of the Spilleart.
