404 - Line drawing



It's interesting to think about the energy or movement of a line and how it influences a drawing. Working with different techniques and speeds created completely different outcomes that wouldn't be possible with the 'normal' way of drawing. Normally you decide how you want it to look and then draw, this process is reversed and creates more experimentation and chaos. 


The page of circles works well in itself aesthetically. It allows you to visualise combining the lines together for a new drawing and what might work. The quick black painted circles go nicely with the scribbled pink line circles.


Exploring different methods of drawing might be a good thing to adopt before creating an image. I will use some of the lines tested for the robot/future technology theme.  


It was deceptively challenging coming up with lines other than a straight black line. The session focused on the physicality of drawing and the outcomes of images when you also focus on what kind of pressure, speed, aggression, control you have when drawing a simple line.

One of the lines used two or three pens at once.

The idea of drawing three versions of the object simultaneously I like. It gives you a blurred three dimensional ghost drawing of which ever drawing you are focused on drawing on the most.
