Skull sketches - Using Biro and Coffee - (6 hours study)
From this study, I conducted an experiment. Half of the skull (that has coffee half painted on it) was drawn using references (that being a plastic used in classrooms) and the other part from drawn from memory with the other side covered up. I believe this was a great study to develop my fine art/drawing technique. I believe the study of the human form is vital for any artist's study. Some may argue that this is too timely as it could take a lifetime to learn. While parts of this argument may be true, it is a worthwhile study that has benefitted artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci etc. Many artist aid their drawing abilities through life drawing. This is a study of life forms while they are either moving or still. Again, this is a valuable practice to invest your time in.
Biro Studies (2 hour study)
These studies were conducted through a mixture of plastic models, Google images (for the eye,) sheer imagination and using my own wrist as a reference. Basically, I let my instincts take over. Not allowing my mind take over these studies means I wont overdue them. I have to admit the eyes were a little tricky so I consulted with a friend of mine who has years of experience in drawing and graphic design. His advice has been fantastic and advised me not to over-think (which is easier said then done!)
