Wolves - S Design by Ernest Thompson Seton

I chose this simple sketch based off a Turn of the Century (1900s) artist Ernest Thompson Seton design.  This is an example of an S shaped design.  The S starts with the Buffalo across the horizon.  The farthest wolf and the nearer wolf turned 3/4 away from the viewer completes the downward movement and begins the middle cross of the S.  The wolf tracks and the two buffalo skulls finish the S design's bottom.  This type of design leads the viewer's eyes through the scene and creates interest.  I will use some of these simple but effect sketches to show you, the reader some of the great things going on in some of these pieces of art.
