Creating this piece allowed me to explore not just technique, but also the emotional depth that comes with depicting animals. With this illustration, I experimented with how I render values while using different materials i.e. litho crayons on limestone. For the final print, I also experimented with various eastern and western paper options to add to the emotional impact of the work. Eventually, I settled with Kata Kata paper for the depth in the range of values it is able to retain. I hope (pun intended) this resonates with you.
