Claire Smyth AAD009 Drawing in Practice Alt. Means – Continuous Line Blind Drawings (wire etc)
When completing this alternative means blind drawing task, blind drawing was something that I had never experienced working / drawing with before, which as a whole it was in fact highly enthusiastic and really brought out your creative side. – Which to complete this task, we were given the overall brief to look and draw yourself in the mirror from the shoulders up without looking at what you are drawing and not lifting the pen from the page with the main aim of sketching / drawing a (10 +) continuous line drawing self portrait using a wide range of both pens / markers etc.
Surprisingly, after all attempts, I overall feel that I was still able to recognise and make out a solid facial structure and features similar to myself within my drawings to where I then went onto copying and going against one using black florist / gardeners wire to create the lines and marks of the specific face / self portrait with a 3 dimensional affect.
