Pen and Ink on Bristol board A4
Hand stippled illustrations of both the dorsal and ventral view of Nauphoeta cinerea (Lobster cockroach) with a 0.05mm Staedtler pigment liner on A4 250gsm Bristol board.
Meticulous attention to detail and precision anatomical accuracy – I explored stippling, a popular technique used in scientific & natural history illustration.
Illustrations of the lateral and dissected lateral cross-section view of an onion, Allium cepa, a carrot, Daucus carota L. subsp. sativus and a beetroot, Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris var. rubra.
Self-developed pseudo-etching technique with watercolour wash on A3 190gsm Saunders Waterford hot pressed watercolour paper. This 3-part series is just as much a study into drawing techniques as it is a study of the subject matter.
