The Armadillo Ed. 3 of 50

This drawing is part of series relating to immigrants arriving in Australia.

I have to say these are two very strange looking animals. But they both roll into a ball for protection. They both eat ants. They both have long tongues and long nails. So I guess they are pretty similar, even if the do come from opposite sides of the globe.

I tried to show a bit of intrigue in their expressions, maybe love at first sight.

'A foreign affair'

Different animals treat each other with respect and let them be. I believe humans need to do the same. In this series A foreign affair' I will be using iconic animals from different countries in a scene showing how they would interact.

I use my art as escape from my daily grind as an industrial designer.
The sketching and drawing I do for work is very precise and accurate, often just simple 2 dimensional shapes and objects. Its quite constricting but I get to explore and understand shape, form, scale and negative space.
With my pencil drawing I get to be more expressive. Both constrictive and expressive drawing styles help me to explore and expand my drawing abilities, experimenting with new compositions, view points and techniques

Graphite pencils have been my go to medium for years although recently I have ventured into the world of colour pencils and oil pastels. Some say there is no turning back?
I like to explore different subject matter, challenging myself with levels of detail and textures.

Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any queries or commission related questions, and thanks for looking at my profile.
