Drawings and colours

I made some A2 size drawing sheets where I've used inks and different media such as fine liners and charcole. I've used designs and patterns that I've researched and also included my own. I tried to keep with an arabian nights theme colour wise. I've also used a polyprint in the background. I have cut out sections in the shapes to add some extra detail. If I had more time I would introduce more colours and maybe move on to a larger scale.

I have been working on a colour block where I've looked at pictures that I have put together on a mood board (keeping with the arabian nights theme) I then used gouache paint to paint blocks in proportion with the colours on the mood board I think this exersice has really helped me with mixing colours and also keep to a specific colour scheme. We made these colour blocks to help with our Adobe photoshop exercise which I will do a post on in the next week or so!
