Line drawing task

i used a really fine liner here, though i am used to drawing detailed images with fine liners, i 

struggled with the the concept or just drawing in lines, with out adding shading, i also felt though i spent time on theses drawings they were a bit boring. 

using a thicker tool to produce line drawing: because i am used to having control on a thiner tool i thought i would push myself out of my comfort zone and only give my self a thick tool to work with, this would be hard to add small details to drawings. i used a thick cotton bud square to do this illustrations, i focused on just making shapes with this tool to try and make the food recognisable (croissant) to add shadow areas i made the ink i was working with stronger so it painted darker. this is a style i am not used to, however though it isn't detailed and accurate, it is still recognisable. 

after showing this to matt he suggested that i push the technique or using different thickness of tools to see how this changes the effect and outcome of a drawing. 

experimenting with mono print to create line drawings.

using mono print was a great way for me to see how lines, thick thin, jaggered, straight e.t.c can create a effective recognisable print without having to add tone/shadings, something i have always added to drawings to add realism. it has made me realise that a build up of lines can also create a shaded(highlights on mono prints) areas.
