Life Drawing Contextual Research for artists who use ink medium

1- Francesco Goya

1,2,3 pictures are Francesco's work. I like his way in capturing the details of the figures. His line quality and the use of the ink wash which creates different tones in his paintings.

2- William Kentridge

4th picture is William's work. I like the way he using ink in a freehand style and the way he's capturing the movement in his work which is important for us to learn in animation. I also like the way he uses papers from books because I like to paint in books papers too which adds more unique touch to his subject of work.

3- John Virtue

5,6 pictures are John's work. I like his work as it shows the abstract style. The way of using ink strong brush strokes. His work reminds me of Turner's landscapes. It is great how his strong brush strokes style is creating depth to his landscapes.

4- Brice Marden

7th picture is Brice's work. I like his abstract style and his brush strokes that it looks simple but it has a lot of details. It's nice freehand style and I like his lines that shows the use of light and strong brush strokes.

5-Peng Xiancheng

8,9 pictures are Peng's work. He is a Chinees artist. I like his way of using ink wash and the way he is capturing the figure details in a simple way. I also like the way of using calligraphy in his work which is a well known traditional technique in the Chiness paintings. I like the line quality in the figure details and also in the background brush stocks which is usually done by a handmade brushes that are made from animals hair like horse, weasel and goat hair which holds a lot of ink and create a variety of strokes. I tried few of those brushes recently and they are great and creates different nice stocks.

Contextual Research for The Model Sheet Brief (Prop Model Sheet)

This is a contextual research I did for the prop model sheet part. As I choose my character to be an Irish dancer, I decided to make my character plays banjo instrument. So I looked at some real pictures for the banjo instrument and I may make it more sample to be used in animation later on.
