Lucinda Rogers...

To be honest I'm quite surprised that I like Lucinda Roger's work as the simple line drawing isn't normally what I like. I think what changes my opinion however is the accuracy of the drawings, how the lines don't seem to overlap and how everything is where it should be, its impressive to say its from observation. I also think the light wash and individual thicker lines help add depth, colour and transform the flat line drawing into an appealing image. The way in which she has also completed certain sections of the image in detail and tone and others in just outline I really like as well. It sort of looks like it isn't finished but it still looks interesting and as the unfinished sections are almost going off the page that helps as well. The use of colour, in the fact that there isn't that much of it I also find nice as although I don't think bright bold colours would be horrible I just think seeing the piece a it is works better.
