So I had a really clear idea of what I wanted for Fantastic Mr Fox, with the deadline getting too close for comfort, I did a naughty on this one and didn't draft it out in the slightest before I did it. I started with digital, but the colours were not the right kind of vivid, I struggled to get the right texture involved and although it did help me composition wise to think about fox placements, it really wasnt working for me. I think it's one of those projects where if I'd started this and given myself 2 months to work on it, maybe I could have pushed through the awkward digital phase. However after spending 3 hours stuck to my laptop, I decided to join my friends in the studio by doing some painting. I used gouache and some somerset paper I had left over and was actually really pleased with what I was making. This is the scan in, Im too afraid to paint or pencil the facial features in for fear of wrecking them so there is going to be a little bit of digital editing but hopefully just enough to keep it looking hand made.
