Digital

So digital work would not be my strong point mostly because I see nothing wrong with just a pencil.
For this digital print I wanted to combine the natural and unatural behaviour I am focusing on by using an unatural object such as a syringe and making them look like leaves.

Start of etchings

As my project is mainly drawing based I want to have  series of etchings done and apply aquatint

Just a monkey doing heroin you know the usual

For this woodcut I decided to keep the animals fully as animals and apply the bad habits of humans to them using the poses they were already in the find similar poses accosiated with bad human traits.

Digital

Now they really are Drunken Animals

Here is one of the prints worked into.

Drunken Animals

Ok so decided to do a second photo litho this time using ink instead of pen just to try something different need looser lines I think. The results worked well and yes they have no heads yet but thats another reason I made them loose my drawings will be added to the prints and as my ususal style is so tight I said I would make the prints loose for a contarst. Oh yes and these are drawings of my drunken friends.

Photography (Animals acting like animals)

These are some of the photos I have taken from Dublin Zoo sadly I don't have access to wild animals in their own environment so this was the closet I could get. It was very helpful to just observe them and get images that work well on their own and that will later be used for drawing purposes and digital work.
