In The Fields 2010,
Pastels On Paper
I rarely draw in pastels so this is a new experience for me. I find it really difficult to get the right blend of mixtures, tones and colours to interlink with one another, especially on the fur . So this took quite a bit of time, as I'm normally drawing in pencil. However I found this quite an exciting challenge as adding colour really brings the hare to life. This has made me want to draw more in pastels as the softness of the pastels gives a rich texture to the paper and a vibrant sense of the environment the hare is in.
On Look Out
On Look Out 2010Watercolour on Paper
There are many drawings of rabbits on my blog mainly because i had an obsession with drawing and researching them in my art foundation year at Byam Shaw after watching and reading Richard Adam's Watership Down. I'd remembered seeing the film when i was really small and it terrified me especially towards the ending. I came across the film again last year and had to buy it. Then soon after wards I brought the book, which gives more of an insight of the storyline, the characters etc including the rabbit's own fairy hood tales and stories of El-ahrairah. My favorite short story was El-arhrairah and the Black Rabbit. The drawing could be the great prince himself on lookout when stealing the kings lettuces.
The mouse in mo's house
The Mouse In Mo's House 2009Watercolours On Fabriano
There's a story behind this piece my friend Mo kept telling me about a mouse he couldn't catch in his bedroom that kept him awake most nights with scratching and scurrying around his bedroom floor and under his bed. So I decided to draw a picture of the scenario lol. Now it seems to be a barking dog that keeps him awake in the night. I would prefer the mouse!! Again its only a rough sketch as its still not finished.
