Drawing for Communication 5

A rather different approach to drawing this week.
We were given a bunch of parsley and had to mark out the shapes using only dots on squared paper.

We then concentrated on the external edges and negative space.  Most other people did ended up with detailed sketches, however I decided to make the shapes much more course and abstract.

We then selected a small area of the sketch to inspire a jewellery design.

I directly lifted a set of three leaves and used the dots we'd done right at the start to mark the possible locations of gemstones.
I imagine it as a brooch.

We were then sent off to do a sketch with a good sense of perspective.
I found the sofa next to the main entrance which offered a good view of the steps and exhibition cases.
