Time to pick up a pencil again.

12/11/2014

After my concept panel it was suggested I should explore this project in a more visual manner. Going back to my sketchbook I am still trying to figure out how I'm going to execute the work.

I decided to have a go at some quick sketches using a pen, so the first mark matters and I can't erase it once it's on the paper. This is an important skill in reportage and has the benefit of quickly logging down visually, the important information from a picture/subject.


I only spent a few minutes on each sketch and although I'm happy with the results, I'm feeling a bit rusty in this area. I tried something with a bit more time spent on it for the next one.


Again, I used pen straight to paper, this time concentrating on not drawing the figure with a complete outline to give the illusion of form. From this I wanted to have a go at something more 'finished', to grasp if I'm going in the right direction.


Still not convinced.

Going to try something with pro markers, to get a smoother finish to the original drawing.
