White Tailed Deer

For my research methodology project I have chosen to base it on white tailed deers. The reason why I have chosen this animal is because I was interested in their white spotted fur. I also find it interesting how only the baby deers have white spotted fur as when they grow older most deers lose their spots. Most of my illustrations for this project were penciled based sketches.

The Butterfly

I decided to look into the Butterfly. I feel I was attracted to this animal because of its beauty and meanings to different cultures. The Butterfly is a symbol of many things including; change and transformation, Freedom and Soul, many believe that they are a symbol of immortality and represents departed ones. These were all aspects I found interesting.

For my work I looked at many examples of Butterflies, I found the medium of paper an interesting way to represent the Butterfly. The Butterfly is a very delicate and fragile creature, and therefore I used the paper to represent this.
