Leonardo Da Vinci Material Studies

Leonardo Da Vinci material studies text: -For these experiments I have used fine liner as I feel that I would be able to incorporate a variety of marks and textures. -I feel that these experiments were quite successful as it creates a sense of form of the spine and ribcage sculpture within my final major piece. -I feel that the use of fine liner creates a similar sense of detail featured within the works of Leonardo Da Vinci -For these experiments I feel that these are not as successful as I wasn't able to create a sense of depth of tone as bold in contrast as I would have liked, especially compared to the fine liner experiments previously. I also feel that the marks created by the biro are not successful as they almost 'blend' together to create a muddy texture that I do not like

Final Major Illustration Piece Progress

Image
To begin this piece I have created a sketch using pencil followed by a layer of fine liner. I have chosen to use a subtle fine liner outline as opposed to the previous experiments as I felt that thick bold lines would draw the viewer's eye away from the smaller bones of the ribcage and merge together to form large areas of tone which I did not want at this stage. I debated between incorporating  a 3/4 view of a ribcage at first but I then decided upon a front facing view as the spine sculpture would be presented from the front also and I feel that this would create a more interesting piece for the viewer.  I did find the front view form to be quite difficult as the ribcages I had studied from life were almost always symmetrical so I had to keep measuring the sizes of the ribs to ensure that the piece would be symmetrical. I feel that the piece is somewhat successful at this stage as there is still small adjustments that need to added/changed to aid in the form of the...

Improvised Primary Source

Improvised primary source text: Due to quarantine, I am unable to conduct any trips or visits to obtain primary images or influences so I have compromised and used a Halloween decoration to photograph. Although not the most accurate representation of a human skeleton, I feel that the decoration would be helpful to obtain photos of the bones in positions that bones in artist's work wouldn't normally be featured in such as inside the ribcage. This could create opportunities for me to further my understanding of the bone structures and to record and observe interesting and unique anatomical studies. However, as this decoration is not anatomically correct I may have to use it as a reference for the form and positioning of the bones and use artist references such as Leonardo Da Vinci to fill in any inaccurate areas. Depending on when the quarantine is lifted, I feel that I would like to visit museums to observe fossils to compare fossilised bones to that of the human skeleton I was ...
