Its raining frogs!

After drawing some frogs  on the theme of ‘Fears and Phobias’, I began to do some reading and read of numerous tales of ‘raining frogs’ throughout history. These true stories have occurred in British towns, caused when a wind storm has passed over a pond or lake filled with frogs, picking them up and throwing them elsewhere.  I then started to illustrate scenes of ‘Raining Frogs’. I liked the visual quality of the frogs, as there are quite simple forms to draw but can allow for quite a lot of detail. And I have enjoyed experimenting with composition and how this conveys different narratives and different characterisation of the frogs.
