I did these sketches quickly when I was waiting for a train, I enjoy drawing rats because of the way their body proportions can be morphed and exaggerated to play on the stereotypes that surround rats, that they are evil and disease ridden. One of the reasons I like rats is because of the stigma that surrounds them, even though they are the complete opposite. Below are some sketches where I begin using a different media, a brush pen, to see how it would change the way the drawings came out.
I found that by using a brush pen that the lines became much more fluid and soft, so I began drawing something much more feminine rather than the evil jagged looking ones which I used charcoal and pencil for. I think the poses I ended up drawing are quite human like, giving the animal personality. I was told I should develop more of a character, rather than just drawing the rats I should consider what they are doing, or what they would be thinking. I should make conscious decisions about drawing them before I do, in order to convey more of a message and make them more though provoking.
