Figure 3.Sketchbook drawing: location changes

I specialised on the issue of fox hunting Fox Hunt and played with perspective to represent the fox’s point of view. The development from chaotic landscape to a more minimal style reflects the cruelty of a hunting and the impact upon habitat and wildlife balance. The empty background entices in the audience and the faces of the foxes are the main feature of the drawing adding a dimension of narrative and empathy for the animals. The vibrant orange and the colour in the center enhances focus of the picture. My fingerprints are visible at the top of the sketch, which personalised both the drawing, but also represents my personal relationship towards the issue of foxhunting.
