Gabrielle Nowicki - 2016 - Graphite on Paper Black Bear Portraits, 1 and 2I’ve been thinking about how wildlife is becoming affected by mankind’s ever increasing encroachment of their natural habitats. There have been stories in my area of bear sightings that aren’t normal for the region I live in. So I thought of a series of drawings, showing wildlife and how their instincts seem to have been altered by human influence. I did an image search of black bears and was amazed to see how different their faces are, and that their eyes show such intelligence, and a soul. I drew 6 quick bear portraits my sketchbook. Maybe it was presumptuous of me to “humanize” them because I saw intelligence and a soul. More likely though, they are smarter and have deeper souls than us.These are the first two. -- source link
