Reflective Post

 I decided this week it was now time to start my bigger scale work because I do want to show that I am trying new ways of working. 

I also needed some new materials to draw with because in my tutorial I had only explored the squeegy, I came across Artists Sponges. They were different in sizes and had small and bigger holes in them so I picked some up and thought they would be really great for capturing all of the smaller details in the photographs but on a bigger scale. 

Here are the sponges and as you can see they all have different shapes and bubbles in them to create different effects on the page:

Thumbnail drawings:

Each sponge created a different mark and I thought the thumbnail method of showing this was really helpful as I could see what was happening with every sponge. I now felt confident 
to get into my bigger A2 drawings:

I have really enjoyed exploring with the sponges but still think I need to explore more in depth with them to show off their full potential. 

 I now know to draw for a purpose, not to just draw because I need more drawings, every drawing needs to have a purpose.
