Context of Practice 2: Visual Developments

Some time ago I realised that one may create brush marks in photoshop with additional strokes added using blending options.
Essentially, this means that I can create wire-looking shapes easily.
I tested this method in the imagery below:

This image took far too long compared to the quick gestural imagery I produced in the sketchbook.

Hopefully my digital work in other modules will help me improve the speed at which I can produce line-based artwork in photoshop.

Context of Practice 2: Visual Developments

To investigate my process of image making, I made two designs in based on the same imagery.

The first image took roughly an hour; the perspective and line work was carefully considered.

The second image took less than 10 minutes and I enjoyed it far more. I would suggest the less considered of the two is far more dynamic and expressive. The chaos of the line work seems to exaggerate the complexity of detail and add more depth.

Eventually, I would like to produce imagery that combines elements of both processes.
