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.
