Butterfly

The creature that I chose to research and illustrate was a butterfly. The aspect about butterflies that I explored was their beauty, which came from the vibrant, bold patterns on their wings and the effect they created when they flew. The idea of butterfly collecting also fascinated me. This influenced me to do a range of different media experiments in the form of prints, drawings and 3D. 

Chameleon

The creature that I researched into was the Chameleon. I found this animal fascinating with all of its qualities including its tongue, the use of changing colour for camouflage and how it avoids its predators. I have made many drawings of the Chameleon using mixed media such as paints, pastels and photography.

I used one of a set of marbling images and inverted it on Photoshop.  I then added some of my drawings on top.
