Life Drawing - Week 4

Our final week of life drawing, in which we were told we could use any medium. I decided to get rid of pencil, as I still hate using it, but kept the charcoal, white paint and black ink as I love the marks and texture of what they produce. My accuracy is still pretty poor, but I'm still improving. I have really enjoyed these past 4 weeks, much more than I originally thought I would.

Life Drawing - Week 3

We were told to use just ink and paint this week, and I enjoyed it so much I even used my hands to paint - which I absolutely hate doing. I think I'm getting much better at life drawing, im still not very accurate at all, but I'm keeping the emotion there.

Life Drawing - Week 2

I'm really starting to enjoy these life drawing sessions, I much prefer using charcoal than pencil, as it leaves a much nicer and more moody mark. It gives my drawings more emotion, as the fact that I'm not very accurate is almost hidden by the expressive marks. However, I need more practice with charcoal.

Life Drawing - Week 1

Life drawing went ok, but I'm rubbish at it, and I hate using pencils, the marks I make with them are awful.

1a - "It's not what you say..."

"...it's the way that you say it". I really enjoyed working on this project, and has made me absolutely love typography. I preferred designing for this than I did on the first two projects I was given. This project gave me the opportunity to experiment greatly with typography properly for the first time. Were were given an example body of text to work with in any way we wanted, as long as it is readable and included hierarchy.

Project 1a - Marks on Paper

My first project at University. The brief was to use typography to symbolise/represent objects/jobs.
