repetitive and extensive thumbnailing, to refine compositions.
- These ink drawings represent the 'Play' category of images within my practical research. I have started with this category, so that I enter into it uninfluenced by rules - that I will develop later on - and therefore am working purely from my own creative intuition.
- The aim is to achieve a form of balance, rhythm or harmony in each of the compositions.
- So far I have been doing a number of thumbnails and then taking these into ink drawings.
- I have found this process very effective - in the thumbnails I often repeatedly draw the same collection of forms, refining the composition as I go along.
- I then select the best thumbnails out of my sketchbook and take these into ink.
- Filling in the shapes in plain black I think helps me purely focus the relationships of the forms and the overall balance of the composition, without the influence of other visual elements such as colour.
- The next step I think, however, is to select the best compositions and then start making them in colour.
