Been really busy and stressful from the past few weeks, getting everything right and some ideas for my FMP. So, here’s two photos of my 3D sculpture of fox, it’s an experimental work. I use the cotton fabric and paint on it from acrylics, gives some colours and hoping to gives some texture detail, for example, a fur texture. I will be using some birds, fox and hare, which from the poems I selected from John Clare’s. Some experiment of what materials are useable for moving image. I did text print experiment for my A2 display work.   Some experiment of the materials to use for moving image. An experimental of animation for FMP. Tried out with the digital, photoshop, just colours and the background, apart from the tree branches, it was drawn by hand and scanned. The trees are alright but the background of sky is off-putting, i would prefer use the wet media for the sky. This is what will be like for FMP, though this is an experimen...

These are some experiment development for the Covert project. I did on roll of lining paper, cartridge paper (A2), cotton fabric and thick cardboard. The tree on roll of lining looks better as the textures on the trunk gives the look of real colours. But i am struggling to choose which material i could use for the project…

Some more developments, this time with colours. I have tried the water paint on the wing to see if i can blend some colours together smoothly, but thought it doesn’t work well. So then i tried the soft pastels, they’re much better as i can blend/smudge some colours together, looks smooth and soft. I also added the outline, gives some details clearly and better, with black Indian ink. The blue tit and the owl are my best ones.
