Textured Tissue Paper Jungle Animal:
- Lightly sketch/draw your animal of choice. We are using a mandrill, but Rousseau did many other animals.
- Here are the steps on how to draw Mandrill.
- After you have drawn Mandrill you can start tearing tissue paper into small pieces. Think of all the ways you can make it look different. Roll it like a worm, twist it, ball it up, scrunch it.
- Apply a layer of glue to the area you want to work on first. Press your tissue paper onto the glue.
- Continue pressing tissue paper onto you piece until you have covered most of the space.
- Voila! A Textured tissue paper jungle animal inspired by Henri Rousseau.
