Therefore i moved on from using pencil, fine liner and black and white tones and started to experiment with using pastels and colour, which i actually found very rewarding. I wanted to carry the skills over i learnt in the previous session of interpreting a physical object in my own style.
I decided to try something out my comfort zone and attempt drawing human form, which i haven't been good at in the past. I started with gently sketching the basic shapes in a light pastel then slowly built up the colours and capturing the light and dark areas by smudging the pastels. Even though some of the shapes were out of proportion i think the final outcomes were really strong and my use of colour worked really effectively.
