Week 16

I am working in the style of Vlad Kulkov, by using the same techniques over my images of my Dad and cousin in the army. I am using permjanent marker over the print out of my Dad's photograph.
- In today's lesson I found that permanent marker provided thicker lines than I wanted, but I opted to use this as the ballpoint pens weren't working over the smooth surface of the photograph. To combat this, I could either, work on a larger scale or select a finer medium like biro.


I am going to work in the style of my new artist again, but instead of a cutting that is stuck in my sketchbook. Also, I am not using permanent marker this time, I am using ballpoint pen, biro and pencil crayon.
- I found that using a finer medium was most effective as it represented the finer lines in Kulkov's work.


Whilst drawing, I have noticed that my previous studies need more layering on them and so I am going to add more colour with crayon and pen. Also, I am going to surround the soldiers with more tone using black biro. I will then be able to replicate this technique over my mixed media drawing of the hackle.
-  I did achieve the style of the artist to a more representable level on Thursday through layering the marks. I am still yet to do this over my drawing of the hackle. I noticed that the marks used by Kulkov almost look like stitching, so I am going to look at stitching these marks into fabric on Monday.
