Drawing on ‘Jungle’ Subject

          In order to create the appropriate illustrations in Nonsense genre, here are my few sketches, which temporarily changed Danil Kharms poetry theme. I made the opposite visual search on the basis of the savannah topic moving from slavic to German cultural space, which represents the nonsense poem ‘Lion’ written by the actor, comedian, poet and singer Spike Milligan:

‘’If you are attacked by a Lion

Find fresh underpants to try on

Lay on the ground quite still

Pretend you are very ill

Keep like that day after day

Perhaps the lion will go away.’’

        Since I am faced with an exotic 'participant' lion and the poet 'advises’ how to behave in order to avoid life-threatening problems, logical aspect is to make sketches of jungle theme first going on a complex (specific flora and fauna) elements and later moving to the simple details - the lion's interaction with man.

       There I am adding my primary sketches of trees, plants and animals, capturing their significant identity marks.
