This was a workshop task that we did with Fru. We were told to go around the university and draw ‘hidden viewpoints’ – corners and little places that stood out to us as forming a composition. We were told to only use black and white mediums, so I chose to work with a black marker on white paper.
Day 1 of 2.
Each drawing is a5 in size, a set of 8. I didn’t want to use a pencil before drawing, and jumped straight in with my marker. Some drawings and sections are more imperfect than others, but I really like the loose style and how you can see a little bit of my movement in each illustration.

Day 2 of 2.
For this task with Fru, we used our drawings to make a little accordion book with the title ‘Hidden Viewpoints’. I wanted to use my third sketch as the title page as it had a natural rectangle for putting it in. We used a white sheet of paper to take quick product style photos, and set them up beside the window to show them with natural light passing through. This was a really fun exercise in observational drawing and finding composition, and I really liked my final outcome.
