Project two: Animation project

Car drawings with graphite pencil

These are some observational graphite drawings of my transportation toy. I wanted to represent the vehical by drawing all the different view points, starting with the drawing on the left. I found the bottom right hand drawing was quite hard to perfect because I kept making mistakes with the proportions of the bonnet. 

Ink experimentaion

For this exercise, we had to experiment with different ways to apply inks using our chosen vehicals. First I quickly blotted in the backgrounds and then I had a go at drawing the land rover with bleach. I think this one works quite well because of how I incorporated gestural brush strokes to suggest the car is driving at a high speed. 

Character design sample 

This is one of my first stereotype drawing of a vigilante cop. I loosely based the figure on the actor Wesley Snipes but added a biker's jacket and a colt. 45 pistol with a laser scope attached to it. The stylized ink outlines seem to work really well for this kind of character and I think it blends nicely with the simplistic collage background, once again proving that sometimes less is more.

Left-handed pen drawing

For this exercise, we had to draw our chosen vehicle with our left hand. The object to this is to make our drawing technique more versatile, rather than try to draw a precise observational drawing. Instead of being too precious with the drawing, I decided to loosen my left hand slightly and draw layers of child-like out lines which I think worked best for this exercise. This took approximately 2 mins to draw.  

Paper manipulation

This is one of my more interesting examples of paper manipulation. To represent the work "spiky", I decided to cut out my piece of paper and make it look as though someone is being impaled on some kind of torture device covered with spikes. The outcome is quite eerie, but I had fun because it got me to think outside the box, especially when describing unusual words using paper.

Failed ink experiment

This was one of my experimental pieces were we got to chose what medias to incorporate. The reason why this is unsuccessful is because I applied too much ink onto the car which blended too much into the news paper collage. Perhaps if I used less collage then this would have worked better.
