This was my first piece on a larger scale for this project. The other day Gill said it looked almost like a statue. I didn't think this originally but since she said it I think it looks more like a statue every time I see it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but I would like there to be more of a contrast between the organicness of the figure and the structure of the building. I am already making progress on this with my work since however.















In this next piece I experimented around with quite a few different ideas. First of I drew the figure in blue not black to give the  figure and building another degree of separation.I then decided to draw the building with ink instead of pen, and I didn't sketch the drawing out like I usually do this time to try and get a much looser marker then usual. Finally I added a few dry brush strokes to give the piece a hint of colour in a similar but more subtle way to some of Veronica Lawlor's work. I thought the end result showed a clear difference between the figure and building although the figure may be a bit overpowered by the boldness of the ink. I like the effect the green brushstrokes have as well. They give the otherwise lifeless figure a bit of energy a sort of potential for movement. What I don't like so much is how rigid the figure is compared to the looseness of the building. It seems like it should be the other way round.
