(In response to watching the series 'The Terror')
Screen grabs from watching 'The Terror'
After finishing ''The Terror' I immediately created some large A2 drawings using blue drawing ink, watercolour and lithograph crayon.
Feedback and response: Experiment with plan views and scale of figures to demonstrate vastness of environment ... try to dwarf the figures ... in this vast unconquerable anti paradise
I find that exquisite corpse drawings are an extremely useful preliminary drawing exercise for generating large amounts of drawings that play around with composition, scale and mark making. I took inspiration from what I believe to be one of the best examples of an exquisite corpse drawing (aside from the Dinos Chapman brothers) by John Lennon. I used this concept to construct some of my own drawings using ink, lithograph crayon and pencil on newsprint. I used an array of mark making such as marks made using a charbonnel Lithography wax crayon and a homemade bamboo dip pen. I paid particular attention to splitting the drawing into portraiture, landscape and drawings of Inuit totems/artefacts.
FEEDBACK
(Below) As suggested in my tutorial feedback zoom, I looked at the photographic work of Lazlo Moholy Nagy. I thoroughly adore the abstract, implicit nature of these images with strange compositions, shapes and unusual perspectives. I am really inspired by the drop shadows. They are untextured, flat and semi-translucent. This is a very useful reference for future drawings of this project that will have drop shadows in them. I am fond of the scale too, the figures are dwarfed by these environments - this is very applicable for this project.
