Peony Yip

I have chosen to study Peony Yip as I love he way she draws animals over human drawings, i thought this was a perfect technique for me as it allows me to incorporate human portraits with animal portraits as well as intertwining a emotive and powerful message.

Peony Yip uses pencils to create her beautiful pieces, she first uses black pencil for her human portrait and then uses red pens to draw the animal portraits, sometimes she reverses the colours. using opposing colours creates a beautiful contrast to obviously show the different portraits.

I would like to experiment with the layering by incorporating different materials, such as tracing paper, acetate, glass and cellotape transfers.
