worked background..

Taking any object you would like to draw and using it to make a textured and worked background which is just as interesting as a finished drawing.. just select a small section of your object in mind, for this i used some type of mammalian jaw bone. so take colour and detail and spread it interestingly.. allow yourself to be lose and then do a simple contour drawing on top of the object you used to create a very interesting series of drawings.. i used some charcoal and powdered conte with some water to create light washes and added some light details with some burnt sienna conte pencils..

Perspectives frown within the skull

For a perspective project using variation of texture, line, style and color I have chosen a human skull as my object. Here is one of the drawings.. Using sienna pencil and some pen I came up with this.. The second photo has been digitally altered to allow for a higher degree of contrast between the shades and colors.
