cartoon animals enjoying a train journey       © MARTIN DAVEY 2008 Cartoon animals on a railway journey was painted in 2008 in photoshop to a A4 size. It features a pig driving, lion reading, bear listening to gramophone, snake on chimney, elephant and giraffe. A monkey is hanging on to the end of the train. Finally a blackbird guard is timekeeping and has just been dislodged from the falling signal arm. The image is in some ways quite realistically painted in terms of the foliage, reflections and general tone and colour qualities. But the perpsective is quite (stylistically) distorted, in particular the track, to show and clarify the overall scene. But the occupents and in particular the engine are drawn as solid objects in a 3 dimensional world. This illustration is a development from this earlier illustration. The intention was to redo this eariler image to a larger size, but once you start drawing different ideas come out!
