Drawing Skulls

For me, an obvious starting point into my Fox research was to begin with the skeleton, and what better place to start than with the skull. In comparison to other Canidae skulls, for example the Jackal, Wolf or Coyote, the Foxes is noticably more streamlined, with a longer a thinner snout, and a more flat surface on its head. Maybe this is so they can glide through the night at a much faster, swifter pace. or so they can burry their heads into the burrows of their prey. I can only assume the shape of the skull is largely at the foxes advantage for these reasons. 

Here is my take on a Foxes skull, and underneath is a small Photoshop experimentation with the 'curves' of the image:


the second version looks kindof like a mirrored/glass surface, ish

The Perfect Cup of Tea

Soooo, Ive been looking further into the posible options for this project. At the moment I think I have whittled the choice down to two, and I am definatley struggling with any further desicion making! My first possible choice: The perfect cup of tea. This choice would lead me to creating something based on  step by step instructons through illustration.  Throughout our lives we come across such commodities as road signs, escape routes, aeroplane safety instructions. Most are mainly conveyed through simple illustrations, as to be understood quickly and efficiently in possible times of panic. Although I would not consider 'How to make the perfect cup of tea' a particular urgency, I will definitely be able to take inspiration from the above instructions to help with the project.   In June 2011, Richard Alleyne a former science correspondent, and senior general news reporter for the Daily Telegraph until April 2013, wrote an article on how scientists had discov...

Fun with Photoshop

One of my original drawings for my Methodology project stood out to me from the beginning. It was this of three childlike Fennec Foxes adventuring through the Sahara. To me it seems that the three foxes are young, perhaps this is the first time they have ventured out of their den without their mother. Obviously they are cartoon characterisations of the Fennec Fox , but there is a charm about them that inspired me to continue to draw these creatures as well as the Red Fox .  Ive always been very fond of enhancing my artwork through Photoshop, although I'm still learning how to properly manage the software to its full potential.  Origional drawing After having been manipulated in Photoshop
