I think we may or may not have gathered that I hate observational drawings, so here we go, I BLOODY HATE THEM! Since no one wants to do them right now, the teachers have come up with a compromise; we don`t have to do a pencil observational drawing but we are aloud to get some other form of drawing done or at least started. Of course, my head starting racing as soon as we got given the project brief and I knew I wanted to start with something that I hadn`t tried out before, and here`s one of them.
Negative space drawing is quite strange actually, well I think it`s strange anyways. It`s not strange in the way that it`s hard to do (which it isn`t), or that you can`t have much detail, but mainly the way that the objects take shape even with random squiggles and stuff around the shape, quite odd to me. But then again, I might find it odd since I love to just fill pages either with colour or black ink, which is usually my style of working... So even something this different was actually quite different for me to start off with, as odd as that sounds. 
You basically just have to have a simple outline of an object that you want to work on. Then the way I started mine off, was to have a thick bold outline of the image, and then start shading; the idea is to start off with darker tones around the edges of the image, and to then blend them out into the white, so basic shading really. 
The only problem that I have at the moment with the finished look of them, is that they probably need to be a bit darker and take longer to blend out into the white, and the fact that there`s too much white also puts me off some what. I might get some more done on black paper instead, but use a white biro around the edges instead, just to show that I`ve tried out another way of making a Negative Space drawing. I do quite like the finished look actually, the fact that there`s just no detail makes it easy on the eye. What I`m going to do next with them...
God bloody knows at the moment, I`m kind of lost for ideas and I`m currently looking at a few more artists to give me some sort of inspiration and ideas for this project. I have thought about getting rid of the white areas with a craft knife and placing an image behind them so you can see through to dead plants of grass or something along the lines of that. Also, I need some sort of more complicated design to do this from, they seem to plain and too empty when I just do simple designs like this, so a bigger range of more complicated designs is a MUST have.
This week, I should also be uploading some fineliner drawings and some observational flower work from one of my sketchbooks! I`ll pan them out over the course of next week since I have the week off.
