Brief's key points:

- Begin by drawing a cat or dog 

- Draw the animal in a way that makes it ‘real’. 

- Do a second drawing using no more than five lines. 

- Now make a collage from bits cut from a magazines and printouts.  

- Produce a drawn version (not a tracing) of your collage. 

- This image can now be incorporated into a bigger image. Use your imagination and introduce at least one other element that introduces a narrative. 
​

The creative process 

I chose to work with the cat wich would normally be my second option, since I'm more of a dog preson, but I wanted to experiment. I started by looking as some picture from different angles and in which the cats were in different positions and drawing some realistic versions. Then I went on to create the figures with only five lines. 

Once I steped into the creation of the collage, i found myself creating something that looked too obvious to me and a bit boring (first collage with the grass underneath), so I gave it a second chance I tried to think outside of the box for a second version. This is the version that inspired my final drawing which ended up being quite funny but also a bit haughty which is how I see cats. 

Final illustration including other elements for narratives purposes

For my final image, I decided to place the cat confortably on a nice chair in a well decorated house with books about art, which can already tell a story like who could be the owner of this character.
