With the observational drawing we did in the last project, we had to create observational drawing from those drawings, through experimenting with using market making, compositions, scale and shapes. I wanted to focus on the textures, and se if I can recreate the feel or portray what the object in the installations felt like.
The installation with the vase and straw chair, I wanted to recreate the texture of the chair, so I sketched out the vase and got a imprint of the chair’s texture, I then decided to go over the vase sketch with a pen as I felt it would get lost with the harsh tones created by the chair. I really like this piece, and I succeeded in recreating that texture.
I again wanted to recreate the texture of the porcelain object, so I decided to smudge and use that to create some sort of depth to the face. Its been awhile since drawing any form of faces and I did enjoy drawing this piece, however I feel it wasn’t as successful as I wanted it to be. I feel the piece is boring and still feels very 2D.
The rest of the drawings, I experimented with masking tape, black pen and using a rubber. I did enjoy this task and its encouraged me to experiment more with texture and composition and also how to create texture with a limited amount of materials. I feel the piece with the rubbed out loose lines, with the black lining as well, would have to be my favourite, as I feel with the contrast of tones, its really effective.
