After our workshops and trips, I was later able to work from my
photographs and research, finding that this enabled me to create studies
in more time and in greater detail. I could express more with colour,
marks and overall experiment further. Here is some of my sketchbook work
since developing my studies and research:
 |
| A fish I painted from the aquarium using mixed media: watercolour, ink and chalk |
 |
| I focused on the detail of the tigers face and stripes using fineliner |
 |
| Water colour study of a tiger walking with graphite on top of this. I think it was successful |
 |
| I studied the meerkat further, focusing on its face with charcoal, pencil, graphite, chalk and sanguine oil pencil |
 |
| A study of the back of a lion using pencil |
 |
| I studied the face of the lioness using fine liner |
 |
| I drew the tarantula in more detail with fine liner, studying the texture of its fur. |
 |
| I looked at some of the photos I had taken in the zoo of the tropical birds in mid flight, and sketched them with fine liner |
 |
| I used brusho and ink in this study of the lizard, it was quite inspired by Quentin Blake. |
 |
| More small lizard studies in fine liner |
 |
| The guinea pigs in more detail using fineliner - more focused on the texture of the fur |
Research:
More research I put towards the assignment was book research. I looked at the following books for inspirations to more studies:
 |
Mammals by Michael Clark published 2000
-Chancellor Press an imprint of Bounty Books,
a division of Octopus Publishing group Ltd |
 |
| Skeletons published 2005 |
 |
'Complete book of animals' published 1989 copyright
William Collins Son & Co Ltd |
 |
Life Nature Library - Animal Behaviour (Didn't
really use this one in the end) |
I was then able to create the following studies based on imagery I found within the above books:
 |
Hedgehog with fine liner using 'Mammals' book,
pgs 42 and 45 |
 |
| Rabbit in pencil using Mammals, pgs 58 and 59 |
 |
| Hare in fine liner using Mammals pg 60 |
 |
| Rat using ink with a stick: Mammals: pg 77 |
 |
| Leopard using fine liner - used this image to work from |
 |
| Wild boar using pencil - Mammals pg 108 |
 |
| Deer using fine liner using Mammals pg 112 |
 |
| Painted deer Mammals pg 112 |
 |
Deer with paint and fine liner and rabbit in fine liner
using pg 112 and 59 |
