Charcoal and chalk are two mediums that I really enjoyed using together. I think that they work really well to create various tones as well as strong contrasts. Willow charcoal and charcoal pencil also have a very appealing texture and are really effective in creating different marks in order to describe a subject.
I really like my loose and messy application of ink here, and the use of blue and yellow to create different tones.
I think the use of ink, charcoal and chalk together creates a really dynamic image - as the loose and messy nature of the ink can be refined with using charcoal to add structure and further tone to the drawing.
These experiments in ink using different lines and marks to draw frogs I think are really playful and charming.
In this task I feel like I concentrated too much on using colour and shading to add tone to my drawings. It would have been more interesting if I had experimented more with using mark making and pattern within an image in order to create perspective, tone and draw the viewers eye to certain areas. On the other hand I feel like in this task I was a lot more playful and experimental with my use of media. This is something that I would like to take forward in my visual language work.
