Drawing Project

 I continued exploring drawing with colours which is something I've explored quite a lot in this project. Here I've tried it with oil pastel and below with sharpie and ink. I liked drawing with pastel even though I couldn't get the sharpness and intensity of line that I'm used to getting. The drawings below are more of me exploring using sharpies than colour. I started by just doing a normal line drawing I the layered ink of various colours. I would have usually stopped after each layer of media but wanted to see how it would look if I kept adding to it. I took photos of each stage with my phone but unfortunately my phone isn't sending pictures to my laptop correctly. This means I only have the two images bellow to show for now.

























I really like these two drawings. They are similar in a lot of ways. They both have an obvious roughness and sketchiness to them both are ink with blonde hair and are of a similar faceless subject matter. The picture on the right came about when I looked at one of the pieces of paper I wipe ink and brushes on and thought that it may look good with a drawing over the top. The drawing on the left was supposed to be just a routine loose ink drawing but a defunct dip pen lead to smears of ink that were hard to control creating a very rough image. I then finished it off with a brush that I think gave a pleasing contrast in line and texture while adding to the roughness of the drawing.
