I have been currently creating lots of animals throughout my sketchbook producing a variety of different creatures to work with and for children to see the kind of different animals that are out there.
Here are a few images that I have collaged using mixed media;
 |
| Seahorse |
 |
| Fish |
 |
| Wild Sheep |
 |
| Giraffes |
I also like to invert the colours using a format on the scanner where you can change them around so they look really funky and unique. Here a some examples;
 |
| Blue Giraffes |
 |
| Multicoloured Seahorse |
Here you can clearly see the difference in colours whilst they are next to each other throughout this image of an Armadillo, I must admit I am a little addicted to this technique, its exciting to find out what different colours they come out with.

Once I have played around with the colours and am happy with my image I then create more of a composition giving it more structure, by adding a background and a more of sense of place creating more of a feeling where it might live, for example this is represented throughout the leaves I have added at the bottom of this image giving this character more of a personality.

I am currently working on more compositions like this which I will then be progressed into a children's counting book.
