Easter break

Over this easter period I have been trying to develop my method of drawing. I have kept up with my thread drawings challenging myself with time restraints and would like to implement some colour but for the time being I am just trying to generate a large amount of drawings and next week when I'm back in studio I will go into them for further development. Drawings with different time allowances creates different outcomes each time. This is forcing me to not get hung up on the details and it's interesting to see how each drawing differs, as in each I focus on one area more than another.
The photos below are the series of drawings I have done all of the same person with different time allowances. I think the end result is really promising the whole process took me about six hours as each photo is after an hours work. Although I like to see the progression of the single piece. I would like to challenge the scale of my drawing as at the moment I am limited to the size of my paper.






I have started drawing in a new medium which is Henna, I thought it would be interesting as my tutor suggested me getting rid of the glue with the thread so with Henna I can get a continuos line and there are less components in the process. I have used it for a few drawings but it hasn't really worked out as I would have imagined, I like the colour and the way that the henna soaks into the paper nicely but the issue is that it is hard to draw quickly in it and I like with the glue and thread that I can generate drawings quickly. I'm sure I will find a way around this issue with practise and patience. I like the over all aesthetic of Henna and I think I can definitely continue to use it as a medium to draw in. I am going to try a larger scale perhaps.
