Art Class Project : Regret (draft)

Draft illustration for an art class project. The intention is for a series of images to collectively evoke an emotion, in this case 'regret'. I'll have each of the elements in the sketch on a separate layer of acetate, probably made with a mix of ink and collage - then the layers will be glued into picture frames that will be sandwiched together.

Portrait sketch: orange and blue

An imaginary face drawn in photoshop using a drawing tablet. It is amazing how responsive the tablet is, and with some practice it is very similar to drawing on paper - with the added benefit that I can edit what I've drawn immediately, retract my steps if I don't like what I've done, or re-colour it completely...

Portrait sketch detail

Detail of a photoshop sketch done using a drawing tablet. At the moment I'm drawn to a combination of light and heavy linework with areas of blocked-in colour alongside blank space.

Sketch variation

I like this variation. Good use of closure my art teacher would say...

Sketch with Pattern

I'd like the faces to be framed by patterns - they will take ages to cut out of lino, but I think it will be worth it.
