"After evaluating and looking over my project, I found that my work fits the theme of Rework/Revisit for the following reasons. My work started with a small plan and I only had a rough sketch down with a general idea of what I wanted to achieve with this piece. I often referred back to the main sketch for the first few days before fully getting a rough and basic outline of what I wanted to do. As I neared towards the end of my project, I felt like it still didn't seem complete. I thought that maybe due to scaling issues, that something was missing and if I didn't change it then I wouldn't have been happy with the final product. I then decided to add something which changed my final product from the original plan to adapt better with the final piece and better balance my work. I decided to add a solar glare to fix this issue. I also used a reference while drawing the goat, which I had reworked to make more of my own work. I used it to decide the pose of the goat and shading but I also changed how the sunlight mixed with the fur, as well as some of the colors used. I revisited my work almost daily over the course of a few weeks. I would come back to it after weekends with fresh eyes to add to it and try to improve on what I had previously accomplished. After weeks of working on and creating my piece, analyzing and altering it to improve it and end with a final product that I could enjoy to some extent, I created something that fits the theme of rework and revisit."
