Egon Schiele Artist Studies

I have found a new artist called Egon Schiele. He creates pieces of the human form but exaggerates the bones making them look tall and skinny. He creates almost creepy portraits by exaggerating how bony aspects of the body are such as hands. I believe this shows malnourishment or even a mental state. This could link to my work well as I believe I could make my sculptures similar to this style as it makes the figures appear to be neglected physically. 

I have created pieces in my sketchbook experimenting with his style. I have also tried to figure out how he ads colour to his figures and body parts by watering down acrylic to create a wash and I have used oil pastels and thinner. 

I believe o achieved the way he creates line by using either pencil or a compressed charcoal pencil. 

Isaac Cordal

As Cordal works with making small sculptures of the human form, I thought it best to make numerous observational studies of people to get to grips with form and line.

Sketchbook work

I have been creating pencil sketches of my mannequin to really get familiar with the human form. As I aim to use sculpture, I have began focusing on form, position and scale. I have created small and large sketches to emphasise on the significance of someone, in this case, myself. I have put my mannequin in various positions so I can pick up on body language and how you can show expressions without viewing a face. 

Album Photos

I have decided to use my blog to store all my photos before I print them and put them in my album.
