Alongside my research I have been studying the bugs which I will need
to illustrate from my chosen book. It’s important to understand a subject before characterising
it in a stylistic way. These study’s were mainly referenced from photographs as
it would be difficult to find these subjects for life drawing. Insects and
other small invertebrates are quite interesting to draw because of the details
and particular shapes. This is why I have used a fine liner pen, so I could easily
incorporate the detail into the image. This way of drawing tends to suit me more
as I can jot these studies down in a good time. Drawing all the animals in the
same way also helps to link the features between them and understand how their
legs function and the texture of their skin/ shells.
As I was drawing These animals I also began to think how
they could be depicted in my illustrations. There are distinct features on some
of these bugs which I think could be personified and characterised.
