Here are some experiments with colour for movement and energy and different types of line. I felt like using a ruler for the straight edges of the building gave it a really solid structural look but using a thicker pen than usual might have made it a bit overpowering. I also used ink to try and give the figure a more organic feel and to widen the gap between the line used for the figure and the building. I originally tried this without penciling the figure first but thought this compromised the quality of the drawing too much so then tried it with pencil first and think that works better. I don't think that the use of colour for the first image is that effective either, it may be too dark and not loose enough. For the next image though I really like the trailing brush strokes, especially those around the feet as I think it adds a great sense of movement. I think I'll stick to just them for moving people. I really like how this all looked combined with the building being drawn in colour to as it just made the whole image so vibrant and lively. I don't know if that's what I want from the drawing of the building though. Maybe I'll tone the colour work down a bit and see how it works then.
