Assignment 1 - Experimental Tools for Drawing

 Tools:

1.Roller

Tool 1: In Progress

Tool 1: Complete. Made of a toilet paper roll, q-tips, and tape. I rolled it in this container of ink to cover all of the 1-tips.

testing - Mark made by rolling the tool across the paper (sketchbook)

2.Stamper

Tool 2: In Progress

Tool 2: Complete. Made using a carved down pencil, tape, and cotton pads.

testing - Mark made by dipping the tool in ink and then stamping it onto paper (sketchbook)

3.Blender

Tool 3: In Progress

Tool 3 Complete + mark making. The tool is made of a carved down pencil, cotton pads, and pieces of cloth. Both give a different look when blending. 

4.Large Stamper

Tool 4: Made of a star bow, fabric, and staples. The strap is to keep it on your hand while you use it.

5.Line Maker

Different sides give different line work.

Tool 5: Made by cutting three identical shapes of cardboard and then suppport pieces, glued with white

testing - Mark made by stamping and dragging different sides of the tool.

Dear Hannah

15” by 17”

acrylic paint, ink, graphite

     A drawing dedicated to an old friend and a sort-of preliminary work my planned Home series.

Tools used:

background: tool 4 (star bow) and tool 2 (cotton stamper)

shirt: tool 5 (cardboard line maker)

Hair: tool 1 (dot roller)

any graphite areas: blended using tool 3 (double sided blender).

      - I found the cloth side worked better and mostly stuck with that end for blending.
