Photo Including People

I think my strongest drawing is the last one and it’s because of the way that I deconstructed the drawing. There is no clear indication of what it is I’m drawing from but only the marks that I’m making. Whereas for all the previous drawing all relates back to the reference image.

The drawings that I like the most are the last two. I really enjoy the scribbled car because it’s not too thought out and we can clearly see my coloured pencil scribbled along the paper to create the image. And the only indication that it is the reference picture is by the colour placement and this also applies to the circle drawing. I also really enjoy the watercolour drawing as it’s very simplistic in it’s form and creating an image. There is not much shading besides basic shadows and we can see the leaks of watercolour/water and the strokes of the brush work.

For this, I wanted to do loose pencil drawings, using the side of the pencil and the point of the pencil to create marks as well as smudging the pencil pigment. I really enjoy this free-flowing way of drawing, not trying too hard to create a perfect drawing and focusing on making gestural marks.
Painting made before 1900
Flaming June by Lord Frederic Leighton, 1895 is painting that I chose to do because it one of my favourite paintings and because of the bright colours.
I chose to slowly break down the colours and figure through shortening the time frame to draw the painting using coloured pencils. I went from from it in 10 minutes, 1 minutes and 10 seconds.
I really loved breaking down the form, so I decided to do it again but only using water colour and charcoal. For the watercolour, I really wanted to focus on the colours used in the painting. And with the charcoal, I wanted to focus on the form rather than the colours. I really love these two works next to each other because they’re very juxtaposing.

For this I wanted to focus on different ways of drawing. Obviously, I first drew a picture that closely resembled the reference photo and then from there I broke down my next drawings. I drew a picture without taking the pencil off of the paper and then drew the silhouette of the figures. In my last drawing, I did a really quick sketch, using simple and minimal pencil lines.
