The drawing above was done in the Art Gallery in Leeds, I chose to draw old people as my first intial response to 'something old'. I picked this one because I liked how someone old was using something new and I thought it made a good contrast.
I also drew guns from the Royal Armories to represent old. I picked this drawing out because I was really proud if myself for capturing the aesthetic of a gun. I think being able to observe it directly helped me translate it into a drawing that actually resembled a gun, drawing from reference sometimes takes away depth and I think seeing the depth and observing it in person really helped me.
2. ORGANIC
I drew plants and part of a woman sculpture for organic, I did this mainly because the plants in the gallery cafe were really interesting shapes and I thought they made for good drawings and I drew the sculpture of the woman just because the human body is organic.
I'm probably going to go back and draw them again at some point but this time I would use a thicker brush pen and really try to focus on how the leaves are composed rather than a quicker fineliner drawing.
3. UNNOTICED
For unnoticed I've picked out two sketches, one (above) of a giant bark sculpture thing on the side of Leeds University. It was really high up so I couldn't get much definition but if I had more time I would use charcoal and use that to tone what I saw. The second was a lamp that I thought looked like a spaceship.
