I-padding it at the Barbican, and some thoughts.

"I-padding it" heh, I shall be remembering that term. Anyways yesterday I did some drawing out at the Barbican, as well as one more quickly done at home.

 The above 2 images are slight variations of the same thing. this was the first scene that I drew, where me and my friend were sat on various rocks. I wanted to draw the artist on location, which fits in with my theme of people and their environments. The top one is the original, and the bottom one has been slightly edited with photoshop, with a slight colour overlay and a filter applied.  I really like the slight changes the second one has, and i feel it makes all the difference.

The above image was another 5-10 minute drawing. It was of a man sitting at a bench looking out to the boats at the port. I like the environment he is in more than himself for this picture. 

The final I pad drawing of the day was this one of my house mate watching television and midnight snaking (its almost a tradition here now for us). 5 minutes or less, really tried doing this without him suspecting. And even better, I think it worked.I like the blocky colours I used here, the sketchyness comes from the black shading, instead of the overlayed colour.


And finnaly below I am showing another one of my more planned drawing. this was a drawing I did for fun with no reference. I love fantasy art, and always sketch like this, but only now am I doing this frequently on the ipad. This drawing took 2-3 hours, and is much more refined than the above sketches, however I have used the same principles, such as shading with low opacity balck brush marks followed by overlayed colour, however this time i placed colour uiderneath the black lines as well as an overlay on top. I think this has created a much bolder effect, and I really like it. I will be trying this method with a more refined drawing of real people next time I do 220 work with the Ipad. so now you know what to expect next, woo!

As well as more detailed life drawings, I will be showing my research here as well,so my train of thought is made clear.

Cheers!
