A series of images which show different types of whales which have somehow been affected by humans. I started out by researching and drawing different types of whales. Then my research took me to looking at captive whales and how humans seem to exploit them. I found mostly Orca whales are most famously known for performing in shows and as a result deaths have occurred, however I also found that Beluga whales are also commonly found in captivity but because little is known about them they don’t seem to be a focus point for stopping captivity of whales. I also found that Blue whales have also been affected by human activity. Therefore I focused my drawings around these three whales. I started by sketching, then I tried out different media. I liked using procreate, so I decided to use this for creating my final piece. I wanted to create a series of images which where also informative and therefore could be used to educate as well as look effective. I wanted to include the skeletons of the whales because it shows if humans carried on treating the whales how we once did the skeletons would be the only evidence that these creatures existed but however in recent years our attitudes have changed towards these creatures.
