Final Ideas

 

These are my final ideas! I used Photoshop to overlap my images, I did a few tests with changing the colour of the silhouettes but I personally think they look better black! I think if I could go back and change anything I would want to spend more time creating my final designs ! I love them and think they work well, I would just like to spend as much time on the final bits as I spend on my drawings!

Collage

 

These are what I am planning to use as a background to my images, I created these by making collages out of ripped bits of paper I got from magazines, photocopied and coloured paper that i bought! I made them in a3 size then used the photocopier to blow up certain bits of the collage and these are the outcomes I also played with making them all one colour and inverting the colours.

I really enjoyed doing this, I think my problem is I don't just mess about when I am creating things, so doing these collages was nice not knowing what I am going to end up with!

Refined Drawings!

These are the final drawings I have chosen to use! I am really happy with the outcome of both. I think from last year my drawing is a big improvement!

Drawings!!

 

 

These are some of my drawings from my sketch book, I just used black acrylic ink for all my drawings, the idea is to have all the threats than man poses to animals as silhouettes and over lap them in some way to make a final design! The final design idea I have in mind is to apply the pattern to a notebook, so I need to think of ideas for a background design that will bring everything together.  

Natural World

I have neglected my blog for quite a while.. this is where I am up to so far !

Originally I was working on the non place brief over the summer and into the first week of starting back at uni, but decided to change to the natural world because I hit a wall with my drawings, I think this was mainly because I wasn't finding my subject matter particularly inspiring!

I decided to move onto the natural world brief! I chose to go down the route of endangered species at first, the plan was to illustrate numerous endangered species and the threats that caused their situations! Going at it from this angle did not work I think because I was constricting myself with only a few animals !

Speaking with a tutor I then came to the decision to just make my work about the threat of man to animals, this was a big help with my drawings as I had more freedom with it.
