Week 8: Non human anatomy- Finished Sketch

This is a 45 minute finished sketch using a variety of toned pencils. The focus was once more on non-human anatomy. This illustration's aim was to contrast the human figure with another that completely differs. The tiger was a great example of an intricate non-human animal to focus on as it represents the 'four legged animals' well with its form and anatomical structure. The muscles and skeletal structure is distinctly different to the human body and the 'Cat family' emphasise this more than most 'four legged animal groups'.

The form of the tiger is captured well from this vantage point and clear tonal values are present, conveying how well lit the model was. The slightly out of proportion feet, create a cartoon like illusion. This was not the intention however it works well and still keeps the realistic look of the tiger and how its body is formed. The face also gives a slight cartoon like look though still looks realistic as a tigers face forms an almost 'grin' across its face. A focal point that captured most of the tiger from the side was used to capture the entire form and show how the legs bend and flex towards the back.
