Initial Ideas

I have decided to take drawings from my photos using tracing paper so I can layer them and then make a path of the figures that I have picked out from the crowds. My first set of drawings I included the background, but I feel that this is distracting from the figures as I just want to monitor the movement of the figure. Therefore for my second set of drawings I have only drawn the figures so I can clearly see the path of them and can pick up there energy.

I have then layered them together to get a flat image, this creates a ghostly effect on the further back layers which I really like. I have also enlarged the images on the photocopier so I can experiment with adding tone and block colour to see what works and how I will develop the drawings. I think I need to keep working quite fast with this project and not get bogged down to much with the thought behind that. I haven't looked at any artists yet which is something that I will make a massive move on next week as that will massively change my work.
