Watercolor studies… lets put a figure back in there!

The first image was a continuation of the previous post, just messing with composition and webbing . The other images are purely studies, I have been curious to integrate a figure back into my images since a lot of my charcoal images have a sense of skin and body references. I decided to draw the body how I enjoy to draw the body which typically means elongated and not quite proportioned.

This next image of the hands is a study to reassure myself that I can still draw a properly rendered hand.

Newbies I’ve been trying to intergrate color… hmmm.

Both of these images were created on a whim, there was no base drawing or reference only a bit of randomly placed tape to create negative space. The top one is my favorite but both we working with the same forms and are nice to see as a pair. Let me know what you think of the colors, I always get stuck in this pallete.

Shape development and experimentaiton.

These images are somewhat of an adventure for me I don’t really have too much in my head before I start it is all about finding the image within the grey tones.

Im currently working on a etching based off aspects of this drawing. The drawing itself is somewhat of an experiment for me trying to see how different styles play off eachother.

new shapes and forms…

Since I’ve been working on complete tonal images I have had such a desire to draw something that is a bit more graphic and less defined. Thus the images bellow developed. The shapes evolved while working on a collaboration project and have started to tell their own story!

I’ve been really interested in line quality and the way shades of grey are used within an image.

This is the most recent version of this piece.

I wanted to be able to work larger while not getting to precious with the work so I’ve been doing a few images that are on a heavy duty craft paper which allows me to work as large as I want this is about 4 feet tall currently.

This was the initial image to have these circular shapes and I love it but it wont be around much longer, this is one of the pieces from the collaboration and I have handed it back to Nicole for her to do her layer. Sad face.

Collaboration Project

This semester I have been working on a collaboration project with Nicole Winters and I will be documenting the progress of the pieces as we complete them. It should be interesting to see how each piece evolves there are 10 pieces in all.
