Similar to the very first task for this module, the challenge was too fast for my liking and I ended up with a scruffy unfinished piece, I took the task too literal and drew what was infront of me when i should have thought outside the box and potentially chose an area to study instead of the whole thing. However, we then moved onto figure 2 which allowed us to focus on the viewpoints to help get us out of the habit of drawing all we see. With these, I chose to keep the studies simple due to the time limit and thickness of the pen for such small boxes; because of this I do like the drawings (apart from the left handed one). Figure 3 I drew while we were having a break thanks to the structure snatching my attention, I was drawn to it and felt I had to draw this in some way. I wanted to try and make the creators vision come to life and my intention was to draw it almost as if it were real and not just cardboard. In the future I'd like to revisit this drawing, adding to the already observed shapewith further imagined textures. Figures 4&5 I enjoyed the most, while at first i did not like how they were turning out, when i had completed the pieces it all came together. Of the two my prefered is Figure 4, i managed to compose two different objects that were available to study and make them seem as one. Moving on, Figures 6-9 were drawn out of the studio, where we observed everything ourselves and sat in the moment drawing whatever it was that caught our eye. I had fun experimenting with different styles and mediums to see what effects I could achieve with each, playing around with the composition was also really fun and I am very happy with how these turned out. My only issue with this task is that i wish i created more pieces and explored a wider range of mediums, therefore if i get the chance to do something similar again i will make sure to do that.

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.
