Semester 2 Week 1 Reflection on Group Critique

From my feedback I received from the group I can see that overall my response to the brief was appropriate. My peers explain that my composition is strong, but could be improved in certain pieces such as my sketch of the O2 arena. My range of media used received positive comments, but also suggest considering which media is most suitable to the mood and theme of my chosen locations. Two pieces from brief two need to be developed, I would introduce a new form of media or colour suited to the word I am trying to communicate.

Looking at my work from Semester one I can see progression, but also areas for development. I think my proportions are good, but can continue to be improved using measuring skills learnt in the initial stages. Certain areas of the body such as the hands, feet and face tended to be less detailed as I struggled with these areas. By producing close up sketches of these parts I aim to improve confidence for later life drawing sessions. In order to make my compositions more interesting I will use my viewfinder to select the best area to focus on. I have found that when working tonally charcoal was the most effective for me, this media is something I will continue working with. From feedback from my peers it has been suggested that I use more colour, this is something I aim to do over the semester. This may be used to represent tone showing shadows and highlights or as an alternative to black. When planning my drawings I aim to produce a small thumbnail on my paper in order to consider the composition of the piece.
