This one is called Wrapped Animals. I added a little extra in the background so it wouldn't look as empty. The way to do this one is to follow these steps:

1) Select an animal portrait.

2) Complete a light line drawing that is accurate and uses up at least ¾’s of the paper surface.

3) After viewing the slides of this project (anchor set/best practices), begin drawing in the contour lines that will be used as guides for your wrapping. Make it a weaving type style/pattern . The "wrapping" should vary in length and width. This should be done to both create contrast in the weaving as well as work with the patterns of dark and light in your original image.

4) Once all the pencil work is completed, carefully go over the lines with pen and ink. Fill in the negative spaces with ink.

5) Begin shading the wrapping with your pencil. Think of how the light would work with the bottom, middle and top wrapping. But be careful to not smear your work.

6) Complete your drawing by completing lifelike eyes and possibly teeth
