Summer Project: Week 2

This week I set myself the theme of 'pages on a theme', mainly focusing on objects that I am not so confident at drawing (mainly cars and shoes!)and that could possibly eventually be made into a pattern.

I definitely need some more practice at drawing cars, I've never been able to draw them well!

The dinosaurs were some of my best drawings this week. I never usually use fineliner to create depth and tone but it has worked really well for me.

Throughout the summer I will continue to use pages on a theme each day to draw and discover things and new ways of drawing that will give me more confidence in drawing from memory and also drawing from observation.

Summer Project: Week 1

This week my drawings have been fairly miscellaneous without a specific theme/ method of working. They include things I have seen e.g. a character from the film American Hustle and some chickens at a farm and ways I have felt (a duvet burrito.

My favourite drawing I have done this week is this image of Coy Carp swimming, inspired from a trip to the garden centre aquatics department. I am going to start working over double pages from now as the space is more free and less constricting. I used wax crayon to apply colour to the fish; maybe this could be enhanced using digital methods or using oil pastels as an alternative material.

During the course of the summer I also hope to improve on the areas of drawing that I am less confident with; whether this be tackling my habit of drawing sausage fingers or objects like shoes etc that I need some practice at.
