Response to Feedback on Assignment Two.

This is my response to the feedback I have received.

 This is my reworked Assignment Two.

Thumbnail with watercolour pencil.

I had two new and different tries at the Assignment.

I like the second better then the first, the line just got too dark and messy, but it is a lot looser than the original.

Whiteboard marker, fountain pen, watercolour wash, conté sticks and white chalk.

Fountain pen, watercolour washes, (a little black  conté) and white chalk. 

I consider this one better then the above.

I took an even more loose approach (as suggested), trying to describe the form with scribbly fountain pen lines, I like using fountain pen, its so flowing and you can get a variation of line (unlike fineliner)...and trying at all costs to avoid being precious. 

I made the background just a blur of darks, and just lightly indicated the window, 

because I wished to draw more attention to the carving. 

I was interested in tried to get the expression and personality of the carved creature, and I think I was more successful then in the original Assignment.

Thought I might just mention that...

My tutor recommended listening to poetry when working, 

I already did this a bit before, but now I have begun in earnest, mostly the romantic poets, 

I also love to listen to audio-books, in particular the classics. 

It's very interesting how what I am listening to affects my work, sometimes only ever so subtly.
