Week 5 : Negative Drawings

For this weeks session we experimented with drawing on paper covered in charcoal and then erasing away at the charcoal to create an image, essentially a negative image where we bring out the light tones and pay less attention to the dark. This specific task was quite useful at getting me to look at the tonal values of the model differently as it meant that I had to really look and see what was going on and how it varied to other sections. I felt a couple of my drawings reflected my learning well whereas others were let down by my skills with foreshortening.
