Messy automatic Thursday

This was my work space at the end of the day. I was basically spending the whole day trying to work out what to draw, which ended up with lots and lots of different types of doodles including my usual botanics, humans and some snakes. Some of the doodles included quite fine, controlled work - other parts were very messy and very automatic.

This is my very neat little hand holding a snake. I have seen a lot of the black-out snakes at the moment (with being so interested in the tattoo industry in my spare time) and they really do interest me. I like the way that with a snake, you can do it lots of different shapes and the way you can incorporate them into almost any image because they can be so flexible in real life that they fit with almost any composition.

My onesie snake dude. Again, with the snakes (but I really do think they look good in any image.) This little controlled fine liner doodle, is one of my favourites. I doodled it onto tracing paper so I could place other more bold doodles behind it and they will show through so I could experiment with the way they sit and the composition. The little guy is quite detailed and theres snakes coming from where his head should be and he's holding a snake which he could be interpreted to be using as flute (from another students perspective aka Connor.)

This is my little teeny tiny experiment on how on tissue paper when using a marker or pen, it goes through and creates really interesting line marks. Although I'm probably not going to take this any further, this is really interesting to me and it reminds me of cave etchings with the broken lines.

A close up of some little experiments I did. They were quickly done and it was to get my idea's flowing - which makes everything look really productive too. The little berries was an idea stemming from last weeks penguin design because I really enjoyed doing them.

This was to test out some colours for when I finish off my larger piece that I'm trying out in 2D. I will do a separate post for that as it's a result after doing 2 weeks on the design. The colours are nice on the pot, however I don't think I'll be using these exact colours and will probably be using more red tones as appose to orange and a brighter shade of blue (if I decide I'm definitely going to use colour.)

Finally, these are my very delicate leaves behind the snake onesie guy. Gah, I love fine lining leaves. They look so fragile and the leaves can get so intricate and I just generally love the over-all composition of them. I think they look interesting behind tracing paper because they somewhat look frosted.
