Experementing again with the coloured pencils trying to get the right texture and marks. I have begun to transfer what I've learnt from the botanical illustrations into animals. I have also started experementing in ways to mix the pencil in with the colour, as this is what I am hoping to achieve at the end of this project. After I did the girraffe drawing with colour I realised that it is not going to be as easy to introduce colour into every illustration. I do really like the combination of coloured pencil and pencil/graphite.
I am gonig to practice this combination over and over until I get some good quality illustrations. I think the process I went through to get to where I am now was challenging but it was deffinalty the right way to go for my learning style. I am very glad that I have chosen this project to work on as it has changed the direction of my work, deffinatly for the better. I beleive my illustrations are much more captivating with colour and the more I practice the more I can get them to a proffestional standard.
