A few more images from the project. Some drawn with right hand, some with left hand, each one is quite different, the subject remains the same, but the results and mark making continue to vary with each drawing. All are created within a prescribed number of parameters. i.e. white cartridge paper 130gsm A3. Carbon pencil 6b. Line only and within a designated time limit which reduces/increases week by week from 45 minutes down to 1 minute.
(I must get rid of that irritating yellow date text on each image. Need to look in the cameral manual to find out how to do it. I am such a dinosaur when it comes to modern technology). Result, with help from my son Matt is has been done. Application is date stamp.
Each image has a data sheet which is written up directly after drawing is completed. This has proved to be very time consuming and often very challenging to complete. Below is a sample of the text that has been written for Image 2.
Date and time of day: 20th November 2013 11.35 - 11.40 a.m.
Subject: Life size self portrait
Medium: Carbon pencil 6b
Drawn with right hand/left hand. Line only on white cartridge paper 130gsm. Light from right, seated, looking direct into mirror.
Emotional state of mind: Bright and positive, light has improved.
Thoughts: Another creative project drawing session is completed. Coffee time and then a few hours tackling dissertation. Time management good today and there have been no unexpected/interruptions. Aware that I have continuous neck strain.
Critique and Evaluation: Predominantly continuous line in minimum of sections. Started with guideline marks, quick glances at reflection and drawing quite rapidly. There is a soft texture on all line, which indicates less pressure. I like the overall shape and once again I have made the recurrent decision of drawing hair and eye! It is compulsory.
It is 'leafy', organic type of depiction, that's me identifying certain shapes with leaves, cracks and crevices in rocks, etc.
