deer

this is a drawing of a deer that i did a couple years ago, that i just found and revisited. i took a picture of the drawing, put it into illustrator, cleaned it up, and added some new texture. i find myself continually inspired by deer. i think they are beautiful in all their innocence, creatures that appear vulnerable but are strong and have an instinct to fight for their honor. they move so eloquently and prance with utter grace. i am inspired by their tranquil yet ever moving lifestyle.
