Here are some of my experimental drawings that I consider to be fairly successful but not entirely. Some of them I like certain elements but dislike other parts. The first image I consider somewhat successful because I like the use of framing; I used the stencil from my jigsaw lino cut to create a negative space which I used as my canvas and though not entirely happy with the outcome I want to attempt more drawings with a similar premise but with better execution. Others I think were too chaotic without enough personal references for my liking and some were too literal.

 

As a starting point for some drawings or to get me out of a creative rut, I often get my partner to draw on my back using her finger and I translate this on to paper with my eyes closed, this often sparks some form of creativity in me with the randomness of the lines and shapes it creates. I like to draw back into these later and pick out any interesting sections and turn them into the foundations for more detailed drawings.

Below are some example of drawings that began as back drawings but I then worked them to complete a more finished piece of work
