The images that I had for studio brief 2 didn't really work with my style, so I decided to try and draw some illustrations for my booklet. I wanted them to look quite rough and sketchy, because it contrasts with the style of the book and also goes back to the roots of taxidermy being quite old fashioned. I researched taxidermy illustrations and came across these images from the book "Home Taxidermy for Pleasure and Profit":
I found this really cool as I didn't consider drawing the tools or eyes before, so I had a try at drawing some of them for myself:
I also included some mounting board shapes, just incase I wanted to use them. I thought I should also draw some images of actual taxidermy, so taking reference from real images, I drew these illustrations with fineliner:
They look quite rough and sketchy but thats the style I'm going for. I started to put these images into my booklet:
I also included a dedicated illustrations page:
Overall I'm happy with how my images look, I feel they are a nice contrast to the modern sans serif throughout the booklet and break it up nicely, but there aren't too many of the illustrations that they are overpowering.
