Fetal Cow Thing



So this is my second experiment with spraypaint. The cheap white I was using was no match for the semi-premium black, to be precise it sputtered a lot, and therefore a lot of the black lines are made faint with white haze. Nonetheless, I feel like I learned a lot. I learned that I should notice that the can of paint I'm buying, and planning to use to outline, is 15 ounces, and is probably, because of its larger size, more pressurized than the normal sizes. This made precise lines difficult. It was a silly mistake. Won't happen again. The original idea was the have the cow standing.

My friend Nori walked over as I was sketching it out in white and commented that it was a strange shape for a cow. My response was that it was, in fact, a cow fetus. He immediately understood and pointed out to me that, in the case of a fetus, he should be floating, instead of standing on legs that could not support his fetal body. Props to Nori for suggesting that, I think it made me like the cow a lot more.

I didn't really feel like staying too long, so I didn't shade at all, but that is probably something I should have done. I also did not even consider picking up pink paint to do the udders. Mistakes in planning to be documented, so they can be avoided, for sure.
