Covert Development Concept | Illustration

This project i was getting some ideas for Covert, which then i have to display in exhibition at the end. As my illustration style are nature, am working out to illustrate of covert in nature. 

I did some research on illustrations, drawings, designs and materials. I looked at Japanese art, Textile Now book by Drusilla Cole, Landscape Drawing book, Emma Lofstrom, Diana Cooper and Paul Morrison.

Then quickly i came up with a idea for my work, show how wild animals lives in a tree, only some British animals. The first concept of what my work could look like.


With the tree, these are the materials i am using, a black ink and colour soft pastels onto fabric.


 Then i added some from my concept, having some genuine branches onto my work, thought that to makes it out of it as 3D would be. So i experiment it with a branch, however my lecturer wasn't sure if that work well.

Then i had another concept, this time without branches and less or no frame.


I have visited to Collective Collaborations gallery in Northampton, because that's where we will display our works in. I took some pictures around the studio so that i can look at and using the tracing paper to draw of my work, getting some ideas.


Here are the process and some close-up of my finished work.

It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on ...

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...
