organic/architectural/walking/unnoticed
I have divided my work into two groups to reflect the two separate occasions we did observational drawing. I think by making this differentiation you can see trends forming in the work. With the drawings I did above they are all in pencil and mostly are simple line drawings. This is because in the first session I was mainly focused on recording shape and did a lot of them with only occasionally looking down at the page. This was important to do as it loosened me up and helped me focus more on what I was drawing rather than the final result.

After the first day of drawing I felt like my work was quite bland. Therefore on the friday I tried to experiment with a range of different media, as well as working to add some tone, texture and colour to my drawings. I started thinking more deeply about the object in front me and what would be the best means in which record it, such as what materials I could use and which drawing or mark making techniques.
Overall I enjoyed observational drawing and now really can understand the value of studying something from life as apposed to a photograph. I also forgot how much I enjoy studying and drawing people, and I think this is something I would definitely like to do more in the future whether this be in life drawing or simply sitting and drawing in public.
