Slight change of plan from my previous post, but as you can understand ideas develop and change as you go along! Aside from feathers, I have taken my inspiration from other animal elements such as fur, scales, bones and skulls, from images I took at the Naturalis Museum in Leiden, Holland. Images of my favorite things, such as preserved specimens, taxidermied animals, and skeletons!
As I will be using my drawings skills to their advantage I have been looking into artists who are well known for theirs. I find the works of Albrecht Durer, and Leonardo Da Vinci's studies of anatomy and animals beautiful.

The layout and combination of text within Da Vinci's work has inspired me to play with the compositions of my studies and much like Albrecht Durer, I want to incorporate a subtle use of colour as well.
After much deliberation of the imagery I want to work with, today I created my first moodboard so to give you and idea of the images and style I will be working with here are some photo's.
