During the experimental stage of the course I looked at an object that interested me. I chose a flower broach and recorded it in different ways. I like the idea of sketching the outline of it firs (like a skeleton drawing), then filling in the tone using 'doodly' type lines. Like Henry Moore does in his work.
In my sketchbook I experimented putting different materials or patterns or colours underneath these drawings. I preferred muted tones of the actual flower (concentrating on darker and lighter tones), as it seemed to add to the depth of the drawing. It also seemed to match up with the fineliner drawings i did over it...
Above, I tried to add different colours into the fineliner drawing, and found that it looked better when I kept it to a minimum, especially if I was going to put blocks of colour underneath.
Above, I have already recorded the tones of the flower in pinks and whites, but kept it very muted so that it doesn't overpower the drawing. After that I drew the outline of the flower and have started to fill in the tones in a Henry Moore style. I think the finished drawing will be very effective.
The drawing will be posted when finished.
