These following images are of some of the different samples I did, Unfortunately at the time the colour on the scanner wasn't working so I will describe what colour and object/media they are. So above is simple tonal work with pencil, Shading, Line work and other forms of media using pencil.
Next these following samples are to do with coffee and tea work using them too create effects on the paper.
This second image follows the first in using coffee and the too create effects on the paper, I liked this method but did't see it as being practice for an insect.
These next few images will be using colour mainly pain such as water and acrylic paint. Te image above is using acrylic paint and shows using dot work how too blend the paint together too give faded looks.
These next images are of different shaded of colours topped with a darker shade of the same colour too give a nice effect, personally this is one f my favourite techniques but again didn't think it was practical for he insects.
And again this is more pencil work using simple techniques like cross hatching and things like that again something I took into consideration when picking what media too use for my mini-beast.
These were simple acrylic samples used too display primary and secondary colours.
This final piece is an advanced techniques using things like string, Tape and glue I was able too create effects over the top of these materials using water colour.
