ABOUT

The illustration was created especially for international contest of scientific illustration ILLUSTRACIENCIA.
An idea of the contest is to bring together all illustrators of the world who are not indiffernt to nature and its beauty.
On this time illustration was created using rapitograph and paper. I used traditional drawing techniques to show even more originality and sense of illustration. There are drawn for positions of the bison showing its fragments of living style.
A short description of the art work:
Bison bonasus is the biggest animal in Lithuania now. There are living about 180 animals today in our country. It is involved in an International and Local Red Book, because this specie of animal is in danger. Long time ago bisons were hunted for meat, fur and their horns. They live in groups, the main location is Europe. It is unique, strong and large animal that symbolizes power and endurance. For this reason it became one of the graphic element in the heraldry.
