Ink Drawings

This is my tutor Claire Hiett's drawing with ink example as she used for a demonstration. One was drawn using the end of a paint brush and the other with a paint brush and let the ink drip down the page. I preferred the technique using the paint brush and let the ink drip as I found it more effective and worked better as you can get the form of the leaf more accurate. 

The colours are a mixer of black and a bright green that stands out as it makes it look more like a leaf. I think the green works better as it makes it look like what it's meant to be as well as eye catching. 

I don't really like the black ink drawing as I don't think it resembles a leaf and I don't like the technique as I don't think it captures the form of the leaf properly and I don't like the way it turns out after its dried as it just looks heavy like a scribble and a bit sketchy.

They both fill the page of fabriano and the composition is in the middle of the page as it seems that they want to be noticed and they are the main images. 

The style of ink drawing is very liner as there is a lot of line used in this process. 

This has influenced me to create my own ink drawings using the paint brush and drip technique, I like how elegant and light they look.
