From researching elephants I began to develop the theme around circuses and how they exploit these gigantic mammals. I started with drawing the elephant form and experimented with different materials to expose textures. Looking at footage captured both undercover and by the audience, I mapped out the stunts they are expected to successfully complete under the torturing conditions. Below is my final which is on a series focused on stunts performed during circus performances. Charcoal allows me a lot of expressive freedom and control where necessary as I want to evoke emotions from the viewer. This combination is what I explore throughout my sketchbook as I planned to capture the disturbing circus life through tactical imagery and shading.
