Carrying on from the Christer Stromholm post, I decided to use one of his photos as reference for a new direction in technique. I realised that my previous work on this project has not really involved shadow in the photos I have taken. This has meant I have unconsciously drifted away from the style I am used to.
I picked a Stromholm photo that makes good use of facial shadow (of which there are many) and decided to have a go at another rough image.
I decided to use pro-marker directly on to the paper, without a pencil reference first, which has resulted in a slight mis-match in the eyes. I'm not too bothered about this as it was just an exercise for the sketchbook. My black pro-marker also ran out of ink.
I then scanned it in to photoshop and worked on it some more.
This is getting closer to what I want to achieve. The reference to Place Blanche and a certain French poster quality is quite appealing too. I will look in to the Art Nouveau movement, as the whole feel of those particular art works, has an aesthetic that appeals to my project topic.
