Using Claude Heath's style

Since my review, I have thought long and hard about where to continue and develop my work. So i've decided to concentrate my work on Claude Heath as he concentrates on the figure and form of people. I will be taking Heath's work and technique into a lot of thought as he experiments with angles and colour as so will I.

A blind drawing from a photograph of Martin Parr taken in 2010. I used three different coloured pens, red, blue and green, of which are both used blind folded. I chose to start at the top of his head for my starting point for each pen and was wondering if each drawing would be completely different to each others. However they are all nearly in line with each other!

This is a blind drawing of a photograph of my mum, it is done the exact same way as the one above with three different coloured pens. I don't like this one as much as above's drawing because she is really out of proportion with her small almost squished head. However no blind drawing can be perfect. The only thing different about this piece is that i started each pen in a different place, the red at the top of her head, the green at the bottom right and the blue pen i started at the bottom left.

These two blind drawings are done in the style of Claude Heath because he uses different coloured pens as well. Except Heath draws onto graph paper for his precise starting points and i drew these onto foam boards that is usually used to build up layers to make 3D objects.

I do really like this style of drawing and will continue drawing from my photographs to keep this technique and style.
