I did this! I walked to see the goats in a neighbor's backyard. (We live in a city. It is crazy they have goats; it is likely illegal!!!) I posted my resulting drawings to Instagram (@modemolew). Drawing from my memory, I did not worry about placement or perspective logic. I just wanted to get in all the details I recalled. In regard to your words above, I don't have any conscious feelings / emotions about the goats. I just think it is cool they are here in my neighborhood and that is why I chose them as a subject. The first time we saw them, we couldn't believe it: "Did we just see goats?" So, I'm doing "documentary-type recording." Maybe if I draw this again and again, as you suggested, an emotional tone will emerge. By drawing more juxtapositions (goat pen next to cars in alley, etc.,) an odd feeling could be incured.
Well done, Monica! 🥳 Very interesting the point on not worrying about the perspective. And super impressive you remember the goats from memory! Don’t worry about the emotions about the goats hehe, it’s okay just to draw to have fun with certain subjects :) enjoy your process and thanks for sharing it 🤗
