Blind drawing as really started to inspire me, so i continued to draw my friend Mylene Costa in this particular technique. I feel that when i continuously do this technique i have become better at it so they haven't turned out to look deformed, yet you can still tell. For this piece, i decided to use felt-tip pens on A3 paper (blue, green, purple and yellow). I used these because they are quite bold and strong colours. I would have used paint, however I didn't have enough colour.

As you can see i started off drawing in the middle with the purple pen.

I kept added layers and layers of different colours.

I even added text of which is in the same blind drawing technique.

I am really pleased with this, and feel that i don't need to do anymore too it.

DRAWING COMPOSITIONS

I created these three compositions using Photoshop, these are several drawings i have previously done and simply adjusted the colour on some of them. I used the dissolve tool to overlap each image.

 

I started by scanning in my continuous line drawings into Photoshop and used the paint tool to colour them in, i used two types of brushed, a flat angle low bristle count and round fan stiff thin bristle brush. These types of brushes allowed me to get solid flow of colour aswell as darker parts if i painted over and over the same place.

To create this piece above of Shaun Herrington I traced over my original continuous line drawing and traced again but  moving the drawing slightly. I then uploaded onto Photoshop to create this finished piece - of which i am very pleased with!

 Here i chose to do a continuous line drawing of people i know, working from photographs i found it much easier as they weren't moving around. I found out that i prefer working with pen, as it's easier to move around the paper to create the rough drawing look.

Blind Drawing on Graph Paper  

Today was our first painting session of which we all spoke to the teacher about our previous subjects and what topic we chose to do for Art (mine is the human figure) We started off by drawing blind drawings (not looking at the paper, only what we are drawing) using pencil onto graph paper. I chose to draw my hand in several positions as it is part of the human figure. I then proceeded to draw people in my class, and from newspapers. I honestly do enjoy blind drawings because i feel it's a whole new way of drawing and how you have to properly inspect something using either touch or sight to be able to put it onto paper.
