Development of Shark Drawings

All along with this project since at least the end of January I have been keeping a steady visual practice for this module. I have drawn a lot of sharks, some good some bad etc etc. I think that although my  focus with this brief is now to create a proposal and campaign for a pop up exhibition on sharks, it is important that I culminate all of this visual investigation and research into an outlet to round of my development of shark drawing - at this point at least, there will always be scope for improvement.

Here is a concise version of just some of my developing shark drawings over this time:

Eval of these sketchbook results:

• Drawings had two elements and approaches to drawing: 1= analytical, 2 = very gestural or ink based. For my finals I strive to combine the both of these.
• I don't even feel that I am halfway in terms of my refinement of drawing sharks and achieving peak and maximum potential drawing of them, but this is good as it is good to be able  
• I am happy with the progress I made and feel it is directly relevant to my current every improving practice and way of image making - a lot of which stemmed through COP.

Here is some examples of work that I like to look at, just for my own pleasure, and that I think would be very relevant as the type of illustrations that I actually might want to create for this project - as I want them to be for an education, artistic-scientific purpose - inspiring and educating about sharks.

here is a list of some of the key points of my practice which I find are present in some of my more successful drawings and images. Writing these down will help me to identify what kind of approach to making my final images I should go for:

• Simplicity
• Textural
• Gestural
• Beautiful
• Analytical
• Handwriting
• Purposeful/content driven.
