Assignment 5 - Part 3

One of the limitations of my drawing practice is that I am too dependent on copying the scene I see in front of me. That's fine if I'm drawing something that stays put, but if I want to capture a fleeting moment I need to use my memory more and that means I need to use my imagination a bit to fill in the bits I either can't remember or couldn't see. With this in mind I changed tack on my moving skaters and tried conjure them out of my memory/imagination in my sketch book.

 I started by doodling with a blue fibre tipped pen

 Then changed to black biro.

 Then pencil and felt tip

 and ended up using a fine liner.

 I think that this sheet contains some of my more successful efforts. The process of hunting for the right line adds energy.
