Drawing for illustration, Week 4 (24/10/2023)

In continuation of this week exploration into the printing making technique of Lino, I explored a number of different artists within this art form and how they visualize mark making through printing. 

For instance, a Lino print artist I explored is Carlos Palomares a Mexican printmaker who predominantly creates black and white compositions to enhance the line, tone and form of they're pieces. They're work is significantly inspired by the environment and culture of Mexico, creating dramatic pieces that explore the visual elements of lighting, texture and typography.

Furthermore, another lino printing artist I explored is Andrea Lauren who is an English printmaker based in the US who is notably inspired by pattern marking in both printing and textiles. Lauren's compositions are significantly inspired by travelling and employ bold expressions of colour and form.

Drawing for illustration, Week 1 (3/10/23)

Image
In this first week into the module of drawing for illustration, we began our exploration and development of life drawing skills and mark making. In this group task we were seated across from each other along two rows of chairs in which depending on the time length of the subject switched seating positions. While we aimed to display and develop our proportion and perception skills during this task, we were also challenged to develop and try differing techniques and mediums with our changing subjects. This stretched my life drawing and mark making skills from my previously more traditional tutoring and challenged me to explore how different mediums and techniques altered the visualization of the subject (such as line, form and tone).  Firstly, to warm us up to the task we began with a 4 minute life drawing sketch of the person in front of us (Ariel) using our chosen tool in which I chose a 2B charcoal sketching pencil. After this with the same subject, we did a 4 minute continuous li...
