Room Corner – 2-point perspective

While I have been doing the projects for the final unit, I have been exploring perspective in drawing again. Here is a return to drawing a room corner, but this time I have stepped back (I drew the picture below from the doorway entrance looking into the room). This means I can see a slighter … Continue reading Room Corner – 2-point perspective →

Collage with hand-drawn text – another attempt

I had another go at creating a collage with hand-drawn text today. This time I created a simple patterned background with coloured circles, just as I had used some patterned backgrounds for the smaller collages with found text. I reasoned that a patterned background might provide further scaffolding and suggest ways to select and lay … Continue reading Collage with hand-drawn text – another attempt →

Figure drawing 14-03-2020

Here is a drawing I did this evening, again of a figure on a sofa. This time I started by drawing the sofa, but actually before that I drew a cuboid frame around the sofa in 2-point perspective. Then I added the sofa and adjusted it based on the proportions of the seated figure. Seated … Continue reading Figure drawing 14-03-2020 →

I also liked the use of light and dark contrast. There was a bright light shining from the … Continue reading Figure drawing →

Found Text

I found this a really interesting exercise and process. I have included many of the initial layouts below (where I laid out cutout text from newspapers and magazines onto A4 coloured card or pre-painted A4 and A3 sheets of paper). Following those are the four final collages that I made. I have included a large … Continue reading Found Text →

A collage using hand-drawn text

I was a bit worried going into this particular exercise thinking my terrible handwriting would be an obstacle - but I realised that wasn't really going to be an issue . The hand drawn text became a series of patterns (See hand drawn text 1-6) though sometimes half way through a line (depending on the … Continue reading A collage using hand-drawn text →

Exercise 3 Drawing directly onto the plate

Below is an initial pen sketch of a view of a canal near where I live. I used this as an initial model to base the following mono prints on using the method of drawing directly onto the plate. Initial Pen Sketch of Canal I created the first attempt below by first overlaying the inked … Continue reading Exercise 3 Drawing directly onto the plate →
