This is a line drawing based on a toucan at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. It was made to demonstrate value in the darkness of lines, making space and overlap in where things are positioned, which helped emphasize the toucan and the branch it is perched on. I tried to put as much texture into the drawing as I could while still allowing it to look good, and not over-detailed. I also tried to use scoring to try to give the branches form to varying success. I also decided not to draw the chain fence, as its an unnecessary part for displaying the toucan in the drawing. This piece gives the feeling of curiosity, as the toucan is looking up somewhere else, and its environment hints that there's more to the enclosure as a small part of something bigger.
