Animated Antelope

This is a quick animated gif that depicts the progression of the antelope logo. After finding a real life reference photo, I make a few sketches that simplify the object then proceed to subsequent versions based upon circular shapes.

Once in Illustrator, I begin re-creating the drawing from scratch placing an assortment of circular paths (guides) onto the artboard.

I have seen others post similar process shots which enlightened me to this approach. Hopefully somebody else sees this and gains the same insight.
