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...

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 Evaluation

Image
Due to being unable to present my final major piece in the studio as I had first planned, I have suspended the piece in front of a wooden surface. I felt that the worn textures of the wooden boards alongside the brown tones compliment the tones of the spine sculpture whilst contrasting the illustration piece. Although this environment was not in my original plan, I feel that this environment is very successful as it is more interesting for the viewer compared to the large white toned negative space that I had previously chosen and creates an aged mood similar to that of the fossilised bones that I have studied. I feel that my final major piece highlights the personal links to my spinal surgery through the use of bone forms throughout the piece as well as drawing inspiration from the works of Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomy studies, "Anatomy Studies-Ribcage" in particular. Alongside this, the sculptural elements of the piece drew inspiration form the life size scale sculptural...
