After drawing it out a few times, I drew it in a more square frame just as it worked better with the rink. The one restriction with this piece was it had to be done in pencil crayon. I struggled with this the most but I think that I used colours better this time as i was ensure with the media I wanted to keep it simple. Although I do not like drawing in pencil I like how I was forced to use it and I think this is a stronger piece of work coming from that constriction. Im also really pleased with how my human proportions have improved through this module. 
Before I started with the pencil crayon I looked at Laura Carlin's work as she uses it throughout her pieces and it is really effective. She also really considers viewpoint and depth which was a good thing to look at throughout. 
At first I wasnt sure where I wanted the coach but in the end I decided he would look best as the biggest figure in the picture so I placed him in the far right placing the viewer just behind him looking in on the scene. 
After a while one became prominent to me and I decided to pick it. It took some playing around with sizes though. I decided to make the coach really big in the frame and the skaters slightly smaller depending on their distance. 
I decided to go with the actual ice skating rink as the focus of the 3 figures as I could include two skaters and their coach and the crowd would help form a nice frame. I started sketching out different ideas. 
These are just some stances I picked up from watching the ice skating olympics on youtube, they did later help inform my work.
This week we were thinking about viewpoint as well as considering composition in our work. To start with I was thinking about ice skating mostly because I had been looking at their clothes as an extension of the Haute couture (as I was getting bored with it I wanted to look at some other aspects). These are some of my first roughs.
