Working directly from ink drawings on paper and canvas: the images are translated into vector shapes and worked on digitally. Each shape when vectorised is then coloured and orchestrated into the whole. These works focus on the use of lateral colour, overlapping elements and in certain ones there is an embedding of drawn images taken out of sketchbooks.
Taking drawings made in sketchbooks and re-working them into components lifted from ink drawings. The figurative sketches are intended to work as colour and change the pace of the looking.
These works start as a connection between two drawings. Elements from ink works are then worked in to the mix. Colours are continually adjusted as are transparencies providing different - perceived - densities.
Using 2 drawings: a pen line drawing from a sketchbook and some brushed ink drawings. Working them into a whole using transparency and colour.
These are all from pencil drawings on A4 paper, or fine-line pen in A5 sketchbooks. They have been scanned in and then reworked digitally. All the drawings are from copies of paintings or drawings by artists in whose work I can see a particular quality that interests me. I usually spend no more than 20minutes on the drawings (or make 3 in an hour - some longer, some less in duration). I make these drawings on a daily basis and they have become integral to my studio routines.
Taking 3 elements: a drawing from a sketchbook (usually this drawing is of a study of a particular feature of a painting I like and have drawn: such as a figure, a portrait or a detail) ; an ink drawing ; a previous painting and working them digitally - looking at layering and juxtaposition.
These are digital reworking of recent charcoal drawings.
Taking one drawing from my sketchbook and working on it digitally.
