Review

Recently I have been taking the created of PVA glue and paint from my previous work of my micro-exam and artist research and incorporating it into new backgrounds which I have drawn in pencil rather than a photograph. What I am now drawing is more focus on close up features rather than a full body of a model like in the photographs, the reason I have done this is so I am able to add in more shading and detail to test my skills and find improvements I could make which I have already done and mentioned in my objectives and evaluations.

The background I tried was a hand in squeezing motion, as I seemed to be struggling to add detail and shading I researched an artists called Paolo Troilo who also showed a lot of movement in his work, here's an example of some of the pieces I got ideas from.

Here is some the pieces I created by photocopying my original drawing and applying my layer of PVA glue and paint.

Now I feel like I'm finished with this specific background, I have moved on to drawing another close up body feature, but a facial one this time, a slightly open mouth. Although this drawing doesn't show any movement like the last one, it has a lot darker shading which adds more depth.

 This is the simple I background I have drawn and the piece on the left is an artist I have researched and I am hoping to also create this dripping motion except with the PVA glue and paint layer I created on my last piece of work.
