Foxy

Current project: Research Methodology

 I have decided to dedicate this project to exploring every aspect of the well known species member to the canidae family, the fox. In my early attempts to research the mammal I quickly realised that there was not only one species of fox to choose from, but over 25 of them. so I decided to firstly whittle my decision down to the main 12 Vulpes or 'true fox' variations. 

 These include:

  • Arctic fox
  • Bengal fox
  • Blanford's fox
  • Cape fox
  • Corsac fox
  • Fennec fox
  • Kit fox
  • Pale fox
  • Rüppell's fox
  • Red fox
  • Swift fox
  • Tibetan sand fox


 I originally intended to make quick sketches of each of these members of species, and I still wish to do so, even though I am quite certain that I am to continue my research based on either the Red fox or the Fennec fox, as they were both the most outstandingly interesting and artistically inspiring to me. 
Fennec Foxes,
cute.

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
