Observations

 

I took this photograph of the flowers in the daylight outside to capture the clearness of the individual flower. The shapes are interesting and show alot of movement. I wanted to concentrate on the sharpness of the shapes and not so much the colour. I think it is important to look at the detail on a small scale instead of focusing on a whole scale image.  

I responded to my photograph using biro as it caught each shape of the petal clearly. It was a fast process of getting the movement of the stems moving outwards behind the deeper shaping. I wanted to see if the darkness of my drawing could stand out as much as the photograph itself of the deep and light pinks. I think my picture looks effective and outlines the shapes I pecifically wanted to capture. The scale of the drawing is the size of the actual flower to show what it would look like in real life and to see if it would stand out just as well as the coloured photograph.

The texture of this shell was my main attraction to drawing it. I worked in fineliner to capture the detail in the inside but also focus on the light and dark tones. The fineliner grabs the lines and edges of the shell, also the colour in real life was not as bold as the pen has made it in my drawing. It looks much more effective. The water on top of the fine liner brings out the texture and roughness the shell has.
