TUI – The Intelligent Observer
Tui pencil illustration proverb
PROVERB
The intelligent observer
One who has the right facts
One who acts on the right facts
It is they who find the true reward
THE STORY
As with other illustrations, the challenge with this Tui was to control the pencil leads to a mid-tone perfection with a sensitive feel for color and the sparkle in feathers. It’s interesting as you work in black and white about how to interpret color hews into light and shade.
During multiple photo sessions observing the Tui as a species, I became aware of the intelligence they exhibited.
So many observations could have taken me down many roads of knowledge to create a large book about the Tui. I will leave that to the knowing ones in the fields of Science, Biology, Aerodynamics, Physics, Chemistry, Ethology, Ornithology and whatever else is a source of fascination to studious minds.
Regarding the proverb fascinated me with the Tui’s parallels to human nature. I created a series of digital illustrations and allegories of my findings to inspire what is good mankind.
I will place links here to those works once they are uploaded.
