Visual Language: Line

Here we looked into how Line is used in different ways to create 2D shapes and images.

Some points:

• Within the discipline of Illustration, good drawing is defined by the unique craft of its maker, and the context it exists against. 
• 'Form' is used to describe 3 dimensional objects
  'Shape' refers to 2 dimensional

In this task, I explored Line, and how different lines can create a different 'tone of voice' in your work. Focusing on the Horror theme again, I created images of figures in dynamic poses, using a wide range of materials. I feel that I really tried to play more in my sketchbook in this task, using ink, pencil, graphite, markers, colour pencils, erasers and various applicators aswell. 

I'm not 100% happy with my drawings at the moment and feel like I need to play more in order to find something that I enjoy in my work. 

Some feedback I received from my drawings: 

• Draw on a bigger scale 
• Drawings with thicker more clumsy lines are most effective. 
• Really like the use of 2 mediums at the same time to create 3D effect.
