In today's session we were working with the life model to produce illustration based on Aesops fable of the lion and the mouse. It was a little tricky to get into this at first as i was attempting to alter the figure of the model to that of a lion live in this session. I has never occurred to me before that you could draw reference from the human figure to build other forms, but from the experience of this session I did find it very helpful to draw a lion based of the structure of a human rather than draw a lion from memory.

Working on the iPad started a little slow and i have a few unsuccessful images but there appears to be a development in my drawing that gets better later on. I had approached the drawing in a number of ways but the most successful pieces are created when i draw out a underlying structure first as apposed to going straight in and building forms from colour.

I am still feeling a little constrained by the size of the iPads and at times they can be temperamental with low sensitivity.
