Non Human Anatomy .

As you can witness the main subjects were taxidermy animals at a museum in leeds. There were many varieties of animals to choose for a focus point for a figure drawing. As you can see the Panda has been recreated inch by inch . The artist felt that he did not do the panda any justice as he ran out of time & energy by the time he reached the creature. The main positive aspect for the artist regarding the sketch of the panda is the face which appears to be similar to the same technique animators use to figure out the position for a character's movements , expressions changing etc.

Moving onto the sketch of the salmon skeleton which was admired by the artist himself as he became immersed with the drawing that he just let himself go of his thinking process & went with the flow. There are many elements of the sketch that went right but the main element that stood out to the artist as he finished the drawing was the proportions of each & every scale . Most of the time the artist tried to ignore the measuring technique as that made him tend to overthink. This would result in a horrible outcome but when he just lets his mind relax this is what he can achieve.  

Then the artist moved onto his next subject which was the seal which appeared to have a disgruntled expression on it's face. The artist guessed the reason was due to the fact that the seal saw the person who killed it seconds before it passed on. The artist tried his very best to use the median's gradient to give the seal a sense of tone. The artist felt that he was successful in achieving this target as the seal appears to have come alive in the sketch.

The last sketch was perhaps one of the most interesting sketches as it resembled a cartoon tiger as appeased to a real life tiger. This may be due to lack of shading / highlights & again this may be down to lack of time management on the artist's part. But the artist did manage to recreate the posture & pose as the viewed it in the museum. The best part in particular is the face area which looks as if the artists deliberatly made it on purpose. The reason that the sketch seemed incomplete is due to the fact that there was a direct light source above which made it difficult to abstract the areas which needed to be shaded from the areas which needed more illumination.

Overall the artist is happy with all of is sketches as they all possessed a certain quality that made them appealing to his eyes. The artist hopes that you feel the same way.
