Deer Resting in Richmond Park
Charcoal - A3
Deer in the Grass, Richmond Park
Charcoal - A4
Definitely an easier said than done task, animals don’t tend
to want to stay still, especially with me sitting next to them scratching away
with a pencil.
Like the last exercise, this is another subject that I am
not overly experienced in working with, but after doing a bit of research into
artists like Mark Adlington and how they have responded to the subject I at
least felt a bit more enthusiastic about tackling it.
My favourite part of this exercise was visiting Richmond
Park where the fallow deer were surprisingly accommodating to having me sit and
sketch quite close to them. I also quickly learnt that they were more likely to
stay still for a longer period if I drew them from behind or while they were
dozing in the sun.
There also some more sketches below that I completed for
this exercise of a donkey and a puppy.
I really like the loose feeling in the ink and charcoal
drawings of the Richmond Park deer, I think this was unintentionally achieved
by me adapting to drawing outside with limited tools and the need to capture
something quickly before my models ran away.
