Research sketchbooks

A few examples of sketchbook pages from the recently completed work of our current first year students.

Wire 'drawing'

Using ordinary gardening wire these sculptures have been made using a continuous line technique, but in 3 dimensions. Consideration has been given to the weight and quality of line in conveying an aspect of the animal depicted. Some are incomplete, and some explore just one element of the creature.

The Illustrated Menagerie's old Posterous site

As the Illustrated Menagerie blog moves from its old home on Posterous to these new premises, (Posterous closing in a few weeks) we are tidying up some broken links and reorganising some of the content.

Now you can view content by animal family (Mammal, Bird, Fish, Reptile, Invertebrate), the media used to illustrate the animal, or by the workshop the images were produced in. See the 'links' list to the right.
