Ink life drawing

This is a quick life drawing that I did using a dip pen and ink to create the initial lines and then once I had got enough detail in, I added in blue ink with a brush to emphasize parts of the drawing. I think the variations in the thickness of lines help make the piece more dynamic and interesting and the drips of the black ink help add texture into the piece. I also think the piece works well in the fact that some parts of the figure are easily distinguishable whereas other parts are made of drips so the figure doesn't have any distinguishable hands or feet but I don't think that matters because you don't notice unless you look at it for a while.

The Creep

This is a screenprinted poster that I created. The project was based around the idea of horror and to create a poster or something similar to show an image associated with horror. I decided to create a poster based on a non existent film called 'The Creep'. I took my own photographs of people in the dark with their hoods up so I could base the main figure on them. I think it works well have a silhouette of the figure but quite close up with the idea of a city in the background. I used green, red and purple because I wanted to make it look like a poster for a 70s/80s low budget film. I wanted the green to be quite prominent and show through in the text as well as the figure and I think it works well that the alignment isn't perfect because it gives it more of an 'indie film' look and looks low budget rather than being perfect and neat.

Product Photography

These are photographs I took in the studio during and after the contents of the can fizzing out. I placed the cherries around the can to add more depth to the shot and then opened the can and dropped a mint into it. At first nothing happened, but then all of a sudden the contents fizzed out so I wasn't quite ready and therefore didn't get the shot as soon as it fizzed out. however, I still think it is an effective shot as the movement of the contents of the can fizzing out is still captured but the logo on the can is almost completely covered so if I had got the shot slightly earlier more of the logo would still be visible. I think these photographs work well together as they show the journey of the liquid coming out of the can with the last one just having the liquid around the cherries. I think they work well how the background, the can and the cherries are all similar colours with the liquid also being a similar colour, only the logo and the surface that the objects are sat on contrasting with the reds and browns.
