[Drawing Lesson] 20/09/12 - Fun with Ink

Summer is over, and its time to start lessons again, we we're introduced to to our new Drawing Lesson tutor, Tom. Due to this lessons are going to be very different now, sue to the difference in styles, ways of teaching and knowledge in drawing. During our first lesson we dove straight in to drawing by going back to basics and pouring ink on paper and trying to find drawings with it. Some turned out better than others, we were given sticks and straws to manipulate the ink and create something from nothing. Below is the outcome:

As you can see, I created a few characters with this technique. Soon after, me and fellow class mate Emma Pinder were put together in a team to try and collaborate something from nothing. It turned out to be a fun mess. Below is that outcome:

This lesson made me think of drawing in a whole new way, I don't have to sit down and stare at a piece of paper until an idea comes to mind. I can just as easily make a mess and find idea's from nothing, this can include characters, scenery and objects. The possibilities are endless!
