Organic Shapes

Organic shapes usually have a natural appearance and are sometimes irregular or asymmetrical. They are usually connected or have a comparison to things found in the natural world such as animals, plants, and even fruits.

In this piece of a a humming bird, the beak wing and tails are asymmetrical. The curvature, of the bird’s breast, is also another organic feature.  One challenge I had with this piece was  creating the last drawing  which represented the simplest form of what a bird would possibly look like. It was a challenge because I had to think a little bit more outside the box to create a simple representation. It is sometimes hard to think of things in the simplest form, when we are constantly creating and thinking of complex items in the world.
