Today I went to Dudley Zoo. I'm a bit stuck on what my final idea is and thought I needed to do some more drawing and research. Reportage illustration has always interested me due to the style of loose line work that comes from it. For example; Olivier Kugler and Lucinda Rogers.
My aim was to draw that animals from life, including their surroundings. I'd include bits of information on how the zoo helps with their conservation work. I thought I'd base the images on the zoo itself and see if they'd want to use them. I sent them and email but sadly didn't get a reply:
Conservations work:
However when I was there I spoke briefly to a man working there about how they help the giraffes there and who they're helping raze numbers through their successful breeding programme.
Here are some photos that I took:
Overall I found the day a bit disappointing. I knew that it would be hard to draw the moving animals but I didn't get any decent drawings from the day. Once again I think I'm going to have to rethink my idea.
