INITIAL BRIDGE DRAWING

I have begun a new side project solely for drawing and have picked the medium of bridges. (Please see my photography page for some of my primary research.) I have been testing out different types of styles and mediums and have fallen back in love the trusty fineliner and watercolour combo!

LIFE DRAWING 2

This session was a lot more open to interpretation and I found i really enjoyed drawing the body in quick, brave, straight lines rather than trying to make it look soft and delicate. I also added more tone and played around with altering the thickness of the lines by going over pencil with thick pen.

LIFE DRAWING 1

I have never done life drawing before so this was completely new to me. I found it very therapeutic and it was interesting drawing a person and having to really look closely at each line. It was a challenge as when you are drawing flowers, buildings etc you can draw what you expect to see and draw in a different way and the proportions aren't as vital.

However, this session introduced lots of new ways of drawing and it also taught me that things don't have to be perfect. e.g. the body doesn't have to be drawn in perfect proportion and some of my favourite drawings are the ones that could be considered 'wrong'.
