Week 7 Wet Media

I feel my sketches using wet media were quite successful and look much more interesting then my previous works. I like the boldness of these pieces and the colour schemes. The contrast of the white highlights really stand out against the blocked colours. I think I could work on the surrounding space more to create a background. Using three colours helped to show light, mid and dark tones.

Week 6 Wet Media

I preferred working with colour as I found it easier to identify different tones, two colours were used to represent the highlights and shadows on the body. I feel my first experiment with wet media was quite successful, but I think I could of been bolder by adding darker tones to the body. I would also experiment further using more than one colour as I think this would help when identifying areas of light and dark.

Week 6 Pencil & Charcoal Quick Drawings

Before using wet media I produced some quick sketches using media I have previously experimented with, using charcoal to produce areas of light and shadow.

Week 5

It was initially challenging removing areas of the charcoal rather then applying it to the paper.I enjoyed using this technique as it helped define the light and dark areas of the body.The charcoal allowed me to work with a range of different tones, using the rubber to reveal the white of the paper worked well when showing the highlights on the body.
