One of the reasons I do a lot of zebras

is they come with their own built-in

diagonals which makes things look more

dynamic. Examples can be seen here

in my scratchboard of a large group of

zebras (Fig 20 ) and also my close-up

of a zebra’s head (Fig 21) – which you

will notice not only includes the diagonals

of the stripes but also the whole direction

of the head is diagonally across the

image.

It’s been fun exploring compositional

elements. There are many more which we

will touch on in future issues but do have a

try and feel free to send in examples to the

magazine to show us how you get on.
