The aim of this exercise was to draw the same object using different media and different types of papers. I found it extremely hard to break away from the types of media that I like – anything that allows me to make accurate marks. I did enjoy the looseness of thumbprinting overlain with some obsessive markmaking (#5); despite this image least resembling what I was drawing. I hated trying the pastels and graphite, they were just frustrating, I guess they are intended for larger drawings. I think what I learnt from this exercise is that I need to loosen up and be more adventurous … easier said than done!
