girl circle drawing

people patterns

Whilst snowed in today i had a play around with some drawings I had done. I'm thinking along the lines of patterns and cycles, and prefer the more simple ones really - the single layers. I think it may be possible to add to them, but with different imagery, perhaps more simplistic so as not to make it too complicated. I am thinking i would like to get better versions of these photocopied on to A1 cartridge paper using the college Repro Graphics department, and then maybe print other layers on top of them. Just an initial thought from today's activities. Or maybe collage could also work too.

Repeated Pattern Circle

I've been considering working my new drawings into a pattern to work with the printed drawings I had been working on. I just photocopied a drawing to repeat it and see how it would work. I think this could go somewhere, but whether to use the same image repeated or separate images, I'm not quite sure yet.

I think this image works well with the pattern layer behind it. Obviously I placed it on top quickly and didn't bother to work it into the circle properly.

And I think it would work well with both the patterned circles also.

geese

This was just a trial in creating a repetitive pattern with some photocopies of a drawing. not sure if i'll take it any further though. i kept the drawing pretty simple with just slightly more detail in the wings.

figurative trials

the latest news that i failed to say anything about is that i got some funding for a new project. this is through forth valley councils and the scottish arts council. I'll write about that properly soon i think. these are a couple of drawing i did today in an effort to move to more figurative work. more info to come...

photocopy landscape

this is the same as the ones below but photocopied as one long image on and piece of A1 cartridge paper. I also kept the upper edge uneven.

photocopy landscape (separate)

i got round to experimenting with the photocopier, copying onto cartridge paper. just playing around with creating an idea of landscape and space. these are on separate A3 sheets.
