The class project is to create your own set of inky collage animals by creating a range of unique inky papers.

Step One - Choose the animal(s) you wish to collage and draw a rough sketch. If you want you can use my Animal Resources Sheet in the Resources section or you can draw your own.

Step Two - Create your inky papers for collage. Explore different types of line, mark and textures with the ink to create your own unique inky papers.

Step Three - Cutting, arranging and sticking! Cut out parts of the animal using your template drawings. Once you have the parts of the animal, arrange and glue them carefully together to create the animals.

Step Four - Add any final details and share your finished project in the Class Project Gallery!

Once finished you can choose to digitise your artwork and edit or add details or place the animals on a background in Procreate, Photoshop or Illustrator, the possibilities are endless!
