Experimental life drawing session
We started off the session with practicing drawing with ink and a brush, it was fairly difficult to adapt to at first, you can see from some of the rough sketches below. However I enjoyed the fluidity and permanence that the ink created on the page, it gives you a feeling of control but also an element of uncertainty when it comes to putting liquid on paper.
We got to decorate the room with black bags to emulate the environment of a forest or jungle, this was to get us into the feeling of creating a scene. The immersion of the atmosphere really gave me a drive to show an imaginative touch to my work, I decorated the model with ribbons and a rough spear. I tried to create a scene from a comic or movie by really focusing on the composition of the main figure impaling the boar in the middle of the page to directly catch attention to the viewer.
Our final task was completely up to us on how we wanted our scene to look and what it was comprised of. I really tried hard to add some sort of narrative into my piece, the model wasn't exactly in the most exciting position in my angle but I worked with what I had to create a dynamic scene. The use of dark inks to create a silhouette for the predators was a really unique idea in my mind as it allowed me to convey a general form of a predator but didn't make me commit artistically to creating a detailed wolf drawing. Quick pencil sketches across the page was also a really simple but effective idea to simulate rain in the amazon, it also adds to the tone of the image giving it a sombre tone of impending danger.
