Observe, Experiment, Create

   On the first real day of project work, we started by doing some timed observational drawings to get our hands working. They look gross I know, but hey, I hadn't drawn in like.. a week...

Of course seeing this pile of lines kicked me up the butt, so after this I began to draw every day again.

After this we took the drawings and experimented with them, using different techniques and compositions in an effort to make them less cringe-worthy.

On this first one I liked the contrast of the line drawing of the scooter against the the solid shapes of the umbrella.




      On this one I tried to be messier, using collage with ink and stick,

To make a final image I combined all of the things I liked in my experiments into one Frankenstein design, I combined collage and cut paper shape background, with messy ink (scraped across with card) and careful line drawing. Observe, Experiment and Create is a tactic I will use throughout this entire project
