Keepings Off – Showing Movement in Drawing

November 4, 2010 By Paul Yeatman

Here is the second go at the week five project. It’s a magnified trace job that was then detailed in pen and coloured with ink washes.

The main aim was to draw humans (so cheated there, but figure would do this in reality if had good source material such as my own photo, which I did have), to texture well and portray movement. I think I got the last two right.
