Field Drawings | Part 1

Selected drawings from a day tootling around Leeds.




Happy with the above drawings, a mixture of people and organic finds. I liked drawing the folds in clothing especially.


Some of the drawings remain unfinished, either because the subject moved away or the location was changed. However I like this effect as they become a little more abstract. I may carry this further in later observational tasks.



Hands holding a piece of bark. Expressive, fragile lines from ballpoint pens. Pressure varies in places.




Left: Town Hall lions. I like the continuous line on the lower image, as it picks up the grooves on the sculpture. May have resembled the object more if I had added tone.

Right: Hand holding an acorn. One of my favourite sketches from the day. The softness of the watercolour pencil created simple, flowing lines. The material was nice to use whilst drawing, and I think this ease translates through the fluidity of the marks made.
