Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while I've been extremely busy with my uni work but I have a few things that I've done in my illustration work which i'm proud of and never explored before.
Animals ! I've never taken the time to draw or use animals within my illustration or art work from what i can remember anyways and because i've been into my spray painting, dabbing and stencilling lately I decided to do the animal i love the most..... Tigers.
When i usually do my stencils i draw my design on paper and cut it out but because the spray paint is quite wet the paper usually splits or rips and i can'y use it again. So after hauling through the mounds of stuff I have in my room and the loft I remembered my mum bringing me home several boxes of acetate / copier film from work and had the idea of using that !
When I drew out my design I knew straight away it was going to take a while to cut out especially with a scalpel. And it did but as soon as I dabbed it with paint and sprayed it with my spray ink it was instantly worth the time !
Personally for me these are so great and think they could sell well with animal lovers. I've decided to do a few more my next is a snow leopard.
Here are the pictures from the prints I've done.
I'm not quite sure which one I like better really. The alcohol in the ink had a reaction with the paper I think and left a thin out line around the sprayed bits bit I could probably get rid of them when I scan it in.
Any opinions or comments are welcome or any suggestion on other animals or objects would also be great.
Thanks
Emma
