Claire Smyth AAD009 Drawing in Practice: Alt. Means – Digital Processes Online Workshop (Portraits)
During the beginning tasks of the Alternative Means Drawing in Practice Digital Processes Online Workshop we where in which instructed to take part in a short ice-breaker portrait exercise to where we where split off into breakout groups with one other student to then draw / sketch out using any easy accessible art / drawing materials a recognisable portrait of the other person while on camera to then use it as our BlackBoard Collaborate profile picture. During this task I was drawing my fellow student / classmate Samina McMenamin, in which I created a portrait (continuous line drawing) using various materials that I had easily accessible to me at that time, which the materials used to draw the portrait included: black ball point pens, fine-liners and coloured wax crayons.
When looking back on the final result, I am overly happy with my created / published portrait that was done in a short period of time, as I tend to believe that I was in fact successful in gathering and putting across Samina’s facial characteristics into my designed portrait as I highly enjoy drawing and sketching in pen.
