Life Drawing 3

Figure 1

This is one of my favourite pieces which I have created during life drawing this semester. The use of various tones and ink really stands out to me, I really like how it all combines together to create the whole image. I will consider using this technique in the future.


Figure 2

This is another strong sheet of mine. I really like the entire composition and use of different mediums explored to show tone and detail. To add to this, I really like the use of the triangle and circle to break up the sequence of squares/rectangles.


Figure 3

These two drawings I believe do not show my progress well and know I could have done alot better here. I will continue to improve ones like these.


Figure 4

This exercise was fun to participate in. Having to use certain shades on certain parts of the view made it a fun challenge. I did enjoy this and I am happy with how they turned out. 


Figure 5

Despite some of the figures having really awkward and unproportionate limbs, I am very happy with how this piece turned out. The movement of the model can be seen gazing from right to left. I would like to do another exercise like this one in the future.


Figure 6

This excersise was more difficult than the others. It is quite tricky trying to draw the model to the actual scale and size in proportion to the grid around them. While I did have fun doing this, there are others I had more fun with.

Life Drawing 1

Figure 1 While i am not thrilled with the outcomes I believe this sheet is very effective in terms of experimentation and mark making. The last two in pen and ink I believe are the strongest. Figure 2 This piece was the first one I drew during the session. I am not happy with it but at the same time I am as it shows the begining of my life drawing journey. Thus being able to compare it later on to see if there have been any improvements. One thing I would like to note is that I belive my marks are very stiff and I needed to be more free with them. Figure 3 While I do not like the two drawings on the very left of the page, I believe that this sheet is once again strong in regards of markmaking. The other three images are strong to show a variety of marks and how they can be used. Figure 4 This sheet may be my favourite out of the five, due to the fact I believe it showcases markmaking and experimentation. I am really happy with how this one turned out and it is already a huge improvemen...

Self Portrait 2

  I am extremely happy with how this self portrait has turned out. I have experimented with ink mark making and the composition of the entire image. While preparing I decided to play about with poses for this task and believe these were a good fit for this chosen composition. I also decided to change the scale a little so they weren't all the same size. I thoroughly enjoyed working with ink like this and will definitely keep using it.

Drypoint

Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3   The drypoint session was one of my favourite workshops which we have done this semester, I adore how the final prints turned out. The process was fairly simple which I did not expect at first, it was quite easy to etch into the acrylic plates. I loved the fact that no matter how lightly you may have scratched the surface that mark is still going to show up. I drew my design in fineliner before tracing it over the acrylic. The etching process felt very similar to using a fineliner or biro therefore I was comfortable drawing in this process. During the printing process we had the option to leave ink on the plate or to wipe it off, in the figures you can see that i left it on to create various tones of shadow. However, I do wish i did a print where i did wipe the ink off to see clearly all the marks I made. I will definitely consider using this process again in the future. I am really happy with how they all turned out.
