Developing my Final work

an example of the drawings in my book

Like I said last week I'm developing my work with my concept and I have realised that the figure that I'm drawing represents a person, but has now identity attached to it or feelings. Because of this I have decided to go back to my sketchbook and fill it with the same figure throughout the book, but then to go back every 3 hours and shade in the figure depending how I am feeling at that time.

The finished book is quite effective and almost looks like a flick book when you look through it which I quite like. The drawings look quite dark and I think it's because I used a graphite stick, but I liked using that because it was able to give me quick expressive drawings so I think that I would continue to use it. The book has made me realise how quickly a mood can change and how it reflects my day.

I have also been looking at identity and how that is given to you so have been looking at Manet's Olympia and Titan's Venus of Urbino because they are looked at in different ways even though the paintings are very similar because of the objects that are placed around them. I think that next week I will be looking at how I can manipulate how my work is seen,but also I think that my next step would be to start working bigger and to work on the same figure to not moving onto the next one to see how the layers build up.
