a quick painting over of the gryphon in the style of the american bald eagle, a lioness and the secretary bird. 

Feedback:

• Chunkier feet!
• Give him more of a feathery ruff/mane looking effect to reinforce the join between fur and feather
• Look into albino lions/fur patterns
• Will the tail be fur or feathers?

Next we were to draw the cityscape using our previous drawing and our imaginations as the only reference

Instead of a life model this week, we did conceptual work based on a still life set up in front of us, and had to imagine it as a cityscape using the various media provided. And then we were left to combine the three into one with photoshop, as a potentially new way to arrive at a finished product.

Since the overlay and multiply blending layer modes result in quite loud colours, I collapsed the layers and ran a gradient map layer, collapsed it and painted quite loosely over the top to try and bring it all together without getting tied down in small details.
