Half Term Work

Over the half term, I was planning on visiting a local zoo to get a lot of photos and leaflets as well as draw some animals. This would have allowed me to get some more research for my project that would have enabled me to delve deeper into my project. Unfortunately, due to money restrictions, I haven't been able to visit yet, so I am going to go when I can. Because of this I have had to draw some experimentations of animals that are near me: A dog and a bird. 

1st drawing - Black pen (35 minutes)

2nd drawing - Black pen and coffee staining in the darker areas (20 minutes)

3rd drawing - white pen on black paper (20 minutes)

4th drawing - black acrylic paint (15 minutes)

Out of these four drawings, I particularly like the 1st drawing as I think it shows a high contrast in tone when compared with all the other drawings. However I do like the 4th drawing as it does also show contrast; in the future, I would only use this technique on a bigger scale as you can't get a lot of detail with brushstrokes of acrylic paint.
