This image I have looked at relates to illustration which uses more of a traditional medium e.g. graphite pencils and colour pencils compared to modern mediums which includes drawing digitally. This illustration is created by an artist called Peony Yip in which she has illustrated the similarity between animal and humans as the model and animal have the same facial expression and motion. The animal that was illustrated is a tiger drawn on top of a females face with their mouths wide open, which could imply that females are strong and has a will power of their own and are not submissive to men as society is dominated by men. I particularly like the contrast between red and grey as the colour red usually represent anger, pain, love and danger which is what females may feel due to a patriarchal society. The work is simple and minimalistic as it has a white background which makes who ever view the work focus on to the centre of the work.
To compare this illustration, I have come across this image which relates to photography. This image is created by photographer called Flora Borsi in which she has took self-portraits of herself with a cat sitting sideways to her face replacing one of her eyes with the cats. The photograph looks natural as Borsi has matched her make up similar with the catās eye. Similar to the image above it shows us that we have similar features to animals and that we are not completely different.
