Hand drawings

At this stage of my work I was interested in hands and I was doing this as a side project with my anatomy muscle studies.

Torso muscle sketches

Muscle; Water colour

This was an experiment which I conducted using water colour, I wanted to see if I could use the same detail with the different media and what effect this would have.

These where my first muscle sketches, still using the very similar line drawing technique, but in this case the lines where smaller and they had more tone as they start fading out.

Developing Older Experiments

This was my starting point for the work I am now doing. This piece of work was one of my early experiments, and it inspired me and i wanted to develop the ideas and techniques I used in this work. with this work i focused on the line technique, and i wanted to use this same way and drawing in some of my AS pieces. i also enjoyed the sporting theme which was heavy in this piece, but i wanted to focus more on the muscle which make these athletes so good at what they do.   

focusing more on the muscles i then started sketching the muscle in the human body, still using the line technique, this way of drawing allowed me to put a large amount of detail in a small area but without overwhelming the art work.
