Fawn: a study in geometric animal illustration
This animal study pairs the finished fawn illustration with a line breakdown of its geometric structure. The two views offer a direct look at how a recognizable pose becomes a low-polygon image.
The project at a glance
Project overview
Who it is for
Viewers exploring the form and construction of geometric illustration.
The design focus
Preserve the gentle character of a resting fawn through an angular visual structure.
What the work includes
A finished illustration and a companion line breakdown of the triangular construction.
Keep the gesture recognizable
The folded body, upright head and broad ears give the fawn its character. Larger planes establish the overall form, while smaller triangles describe the face and the transitions around the neck.
Show the structure behind the color
The companion line drawing reveals the network of triangles beneath the finished treatment. Presented together, the images make this a concise visual study of shape, tone and construction.
The connection to my practice
What this work demonstrates
The paired views make the design decisions visible: silhouette establishes the pose, triangular planes build dimension, and color connects the structure to the character of the animal.
