Image of A3 mono print

Too much ink was applied to the print, therefore the naive cell drawings produced are much harder to see through the blurring of lines, leaving not as much definition as I’d intended for.

Closeups of scanography experiments.

Using tricking pages from the magazine I experimented with scanning the images, distorting them by moving the image as it was being scanned, and then printing in only two tones. As well as this, I cut up the second scanography zine images and played with the composition of the 8 sections, and in turn manipulating the aesthetic and context of the image - the outcome became an experiment, reflecting the diagram of experimentation in the imagery.

This is one of my favourite outcomes, as I made it using unorthodox ink for printing with, yet still produced a satisfying print. The different textures and tones made by the varying thickness of ink creates a ‘moody’ image, matching the lost, desolate feeling from the original reference image.

Closeups of ink, pencil, charcoal and oil, and scanography experiments, focusing on practice of drawing; form, tone and mark making and textures.

I found the exploration of working with charcoal and vegetable oil really intriguing, as this was a new way in which to mix mediums. Although I used too much oil in this outcome, I did find that the oils effect of disolving the graphite helped with achieving the soft layers of varying strengths of charcoal that I wanted to attain.

Inspired by an image in my sketchbook of a man eating tapeworms, I decided to experiment in 3D and create a tape worm pot noodle cup. Although I like the concept I think that the outcome looks a bit rough and could have looked better potentially photoshopped.

Selecting images for my book

I decided to keep the images to all be the motif of the roundworm face as having the same image in lots of different styles could create more cohesion for this format rather than having random images. 

I like how the images range from humorous collages to more dynamic or abstract styles. I think that this works well as it creates a lot of variety visually for the audience despite each page being of the same thing.
