This was a piece I did during a life drawing class during my time at MK College studying foundation art. The idea behind it was to mix different materials; ink, pencil and graphite, in order to create a picture with depth and a real feel for texture. Ink is a medium I really enjoy working in, even though it is quite harsh and unforgiving, it can be used to create quite a subtle effect when diluted and especially when it is mixed with other softer materials. I also really like the way it drips of the page naturally. I found that life drawing was a really valuable experience and I feel that my figure drawing really improved from it. It really helped to make me understand proportions, but also to obtain a looser style when working with pencil, and to not get too bogged down in unimportant details to capture the energy.
