50 different pieces of paper

Key drawing on 50 different pieces of paper.

I arranged the paper in a non uniform way. I think the composition of this gives the illusion of a long drawing. The keys seem as though they falling because of the way I formatted them and zoomed in on them.

I started the drawing with masking tape to divide the space with a clear white mark. I zoomed my focus in on the carvings in the key because of the straight lines and because of the way those areas reflect the light.
I like to use negative and positive when I am focusing on the composition of the drawing. I am pleased with the repeated shape and the way they have filled the space.

Drawing using indian ink and different size brushes.

When i'm using indian ink I don't like to layer my imagery the way I usually do. I link the dark marks against a very white plain background. I enjoyed working with different sized tools because I feel you can portray light and shadow with lines and no shading.

60 minute A1 drawing

I started this drawing with larger close up drawings to fill the bare space. I tried to emphasise the circular structure of the object. I used very dark and broad mediums because of the scale of the paper and to represent the hardness of the metal instrument.

Drawing from sense of touch only.

This style of drawing has never been my strong point but I am intrigued by the way that the most characterful areas of the objected have been emphasised several times.

A range of 5 minute drawings done in different mediums over an hour.

I chose an old motor cycle as my subject so that I could draw different areas of it and the parts that took my interest instead of drawing the whole bike. I had to select areas that I could complete within the five minute time scale. This meant that some of the smaller drawings could have more detail in them. I like to layer my drawings in different mediums because I like the variety of marks and depths of the lines on the paper.
