I chose to draw a deer because animals mean a lot to me. I wanted to draw an animal that is oftentimes taken as beautiful yet it's used in horrible ways. Deers are killed for their meat. In my country Czech Republic deers are taken as a delicacy. Deers are also often hunted for entertainment/selfish pleasure. They are also used for fur and other purposes. A lot of people don't seem to make the connection between the "beautiful" deer and a deer product. I would like for people to realize this. I would like for people to see that animals have emotions (love, joy, fear, hurt,...). As beings with families and a want to live.
