They do look so adorable though . . .
My most recent (and coincidentally), most enjoyable work so far at uni was the reportage project. We had to contact a company, society, charity etc within the community who would be willing to have us work with them, and conduct our own brief wherever we chose, contacting the places ourselves. I came across a big cat centre, a charity, breeding big cats. Having had a love for these animals since i can remember it seemed ideal! This was the most challenging project i have ever done, yet it produced the best results, especially in pushing my drawing skills further on location. The majority of the drawings were on location, large scale a2/a1, as well as on a reel of lining paper when the large paper ran out! Ink seemed to be the quickest and easiest way of catching the cats before they moved, i even challenged myself more drawing with natural elements around me, dabbling with leafs, sticks and bark.
Just a small selection here,
Hope you enjoy the pieces as much as i did producing them.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
