Looking up and looking down reflection...

The looking up and looking down project. Researching Simon Prescott's book from a mouse's viewpoint I think was really helpful as from just the first bit of research it showed me that the drawings I made didn't have to be from my perspective but anyone or anythings.

One of my first pieces that I developed I really like the slightly aged paper that I decided to draw the traffic lights on. I also think that the choice of drawing it using just a single line was successful as although it is light in comparison to the text on the page I thni kit is still recognisable and and obvious drawing. I also think I managed to capture the whole looking up looking down aspect to it as well.

Using tissue paper to draw onto and then using mainly inks I attempted to crete a really washy yet bold image, with the colours I had. I think because of the tissue paper it formed a really nice edge around the actual image and mad ean almost worn, rough texture. Not being t oconcerned with it being neat I also had a go at including a drip effect to the image which wasn't very successful due to it not really dripping that much. Again I like the subject of this image, I think its almost opposing and challenging with the building being looked at from below.

Attempting to include portraits in my project wasn't easy and because most of them would have to be posed or form photograph I decided to not concentrate on this idea that much. Using biro I was happy with this before but now I think its a bit boring. I do like the paper however and how it looks on the brown with the outline.

I had drawn quite a lot of signs which when slightly looking up or down they kind of look the same as looking head, however that may just be due to my drawings. Anyway so I thought I would focus a page on signs, type which i first got intereste din by Jackson Pollock. i thnik the page was a nice change in sketchbook and everything had been drawn delicately so far. Althoguh that delicacy is still in this piece I tried to incorporate a expressive much looser style as well.

Trying to edit a little bit of photography I'm not certain I had much success with it. I like how I have rippe dthe bottom and then cut out the windows, its a nice contrast however the negative space where the windows were I think looks okay but nothing special really.
