Sketchbook of "Week Seven"

Jesus, it's been a week already.

Well, I've had Assignment 6 done for over a week (which is dealing with the Hierarchical Grid), and this is the first time I've had some spare time to do some scanning with a larger than 8 1/2 by 11" image. The only conceptual point I had to work from was 'Relationships'.












On to "Week Seven": Tools.

Exercise 7.1 is to create a 11x17" grid, each square 1x1" (so 160 squares) and try out dip pens, brush, and technical pen and try different textures, patterns, marks, etc.

Here's pen...













Here's ink, some calligraphy brush...













...and ballpoint pen.















The next step was to shrink the work down 65%, 50%, and 35% from its original size and see how your work reproduces.

Assignment 7 and Week Eight: Style next time!
