Thinking big

Work in progress.

This ones going to be big! I am using a mixture of pencils and charcoal - thinking of adding colour and a variety of different contrasting tonal effects.

London inspo

One of my favourite places for inspiration - Brick Lane in London. The place is filled with a brilliantly vibrant and unique array of graffiti, providing constant inspiration and ideas. So beautiful. And amazing to witness the ever changing layout of graffiti. 

Experimenting with colour and contrasting media.

Character map.

'A face is much more than a set of features; it is a fascinating character map.' 

A miniature portrait sketch. I took photos at various stages throughout the drawing and preferred this one. The picture is unfinished. However, the face is there; there is character there. And sometimes i feel like once and if you have captured that, there need be no more. 

Hello again, finally.

Very long time since my last blog - I some what abandoned my blog for a while, however  I am back now. After completing the first year of my degree I took some time out of art for a for weeks or so to give myself a break… well mainly refresh my mind a bit and sort out my life! I felt as if during my first year I struggled quite alot with deciding where I stand in the art world. I have realised now I was trying too hard to find something new and different I was good at i.e. attempting wire sculptures and jewellery making - which, dont get me wrong, I am thoroughly glad I explored those routes, however I was avoiding what I am best at. Sooooo.. I got my sketchbook, I bought some new pencils and I began!
