From a while ago...

I actually finished this a really long time ago but never got around to actually putting this up. For this piece, we had to make a mark on the page using something that isn't a common medium and then draw in what caused the mark. I did a rip in the page using a ruler and I drew in hands, a ruler and a pacer. Then at the back of the rip, I put in a wedge so the piece of paper sticks out to the viewer. I was really proud of this artwork because I put a lot of planning and thought into this and it turned out great!

I also drew in a boarder on my paper where the edges 'paper' getting ripped I guess ended/began but it didn't come out too well on camera.

These are the two completed pieces I've done this month. I love working with charcoal! It's really forgiving and I can really hide my mistakes...

For this piece, we had to pick a black and white photo with a lot of different shades and draw it in A3 size upside down. The original photo that I had chosen was this way up but I forgot and drew it this way up the whole time so technically I was drawing it the right way up? I'm still confuzzled. But I really liked the result of this. I was really proud of it because I'm not that good but I have learnt a lot during this coarse so far and I can't wait for the rest!

This was the first piece I did this year and it was really difficult. We had a draw a squiggly line from one end of our page to the other and then weave another line around our first line. Then we had to add in light and choose a direction in which it's coming from. This was a challenge but I was really happy with the outcome.
