Week of Observational Drawing

This project brief was based around observational drawing of a theme of our choice. I chose to direct my drawing around the idea of people engaged in activity such as shopping, in a café, socialising or on the phone etc. I tried to include a range of techniques to my drawing as well as trying to use different media where possible. My drawings are mainly of people and shops in Chesterfield or people in cafés or restaurants and are mainly produced using pencil or different fineliner pens. I feel when looking back through my drawings in my sketchbook that I have improved and become more confident. My more recent drawings have become less sketchy and bolder using less lines and have included different techniques and approaches to drawing, for example continuous line drawing and drawing using the opposite hand. After completing this week of observational drawing I feel I have improved my ability to observe and draw more accurately, to improve more however I think I could focus on the composition of my drawings more.
