Animals and Creatures: Sketchbook Five

Sketchbook Five Photo Album

For my last sketchbook I drew a range of different animals with references from books and internet images and I also started to create my own animals and creatures to develop into my finals pieces.

For these images I focussed mainly on texture and the fur/feathers of the animals and I think I created some quite good techniques for future reference.

These are some watercolour paintings from my third sketchbook. I had a lot of fun creating these and I really like the outcomes of most of them.

These are some sketches and drawings I like from my trip to Flamingo Land zoo. I really like most of these drawings because they were fun to draw and the animals were really interesting to draw.

Animals and Creatures: Sketchbook One

These are some sketches from the live animal session we did and I really like most of the images I drew. Some images are really bad and unfinished but it was because all the animals moved a lot so it was quite hard to capture an image.

These are some of the sketches I like from my sketchbook from the Marina, Durham and other areas. I am really impressed with some of the techniques and materials I used.I used Biro a lot because I think I work best in it and I can create some really nice effects with it. 

Sketchbook Four

These are some of the sketches I like from my sketchbook from the beach. I am really impressed with some of the techniques and materials I used. I used graphite powder for the first time but I was a bit unsure of how to use it so I didn't use it much. Overall it was a pretty good day of drawing.

These are some of the sketches that I like from my life drawing sketchbook. I really like some of the techniques I have used and considering this is my first time life drawing I think I did pretty well.

Sketchbook Two

These are a select few of some of the sketches from my second finished sketchbook. I picked these images because I liked some of the techniques I used and some I thought turned out to be quite good drawings. 
These drawings are not the best as drawing figures/people is not my strong point but I think I did quite well.

Graphite Powder

I decided that I was going to attempt to use Graphite Powder to draw a portrait.
This is just a random portrait that just came from my mind so it is no person in particular.
I don't think it is the best drawing but for my first go I think it is quite good. I used paintbrushes
to create this and I found it quite easy to work with.

Sketchbook One

These are a select few of some of the sketches from my first finished sketchbook. I picked these images because I liked some of the techniques I used and some I thought turned out to be quite good drawings. 
Most of these are not the best of sketches but I do think I am improving a lot because I am learning from my mistakes and trying new things. The focus of these drawings are just things I saw at random/in everyday routines.
