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

Artist Research Leonardo Da Vinci

Image
I have chosen to study the works of  Leonardo Da Vinci as I am very inspired by the intricacy and accuracy of his anatomy studies. I feel that I would like to incorporate the use of ink within the illustration part of my final major as I have a preference for this material and it would solidify links to Leonardo Da Vinci as one of my chosen artists. I would also like to incorporate Da Vinci's use of marks such as cross-hatching and hatching exemplified especially within 'Anatomy Torso and Arms' as I am very interested in the textures created through the use  of these marks, and I feel that they are similar to that of the textures of bones that I have studied from life. After researching Da Vinci's works, I am leaning towards using a skeleton (or a specific part of a skeleton) as the subject of my illustration piece within my final major to strengthen personal links to my own spine and surgery as well as links to my chosen artists. However, I am unsure whether I would...

Spine & Ribcage Practical Progress

Image
Here I have compared the measurements for all the vertebrae experiments that I have tested for usage within my spine sculpture. I at first experimented with sculpting the smallest vertebrae as a test for the materials and techniques that I would like to incorporate within my spine sculpture rather than the measurements for the scale of the piece. Although I feel this dry brushed acrylic layering technique is quite successful in terms of texture, I do not feel that the tones are accurate as they are too yellow/white rather than a light brown that I had studied on a human skeleton from life. From this experiment, I feel that I need to further experiment with creating tones that contrast whilst also closer to the tones that I have observed on bones. I had originally planned a very large scale sculpture in which I would incorporate the largest vertebrae (approximately 17x30cm) but due to the lockdown, I have been unable to obtain materials such as mod-roc and acrylic in large quantities so...
