Angel Research



Angels are perceived in many different ways, however being a Christian I believe them to be strong and loving. This may be thought of differently in different cultures or for people who are not the same religion, but I believe I can still express the image and mood that I need to. I started by looking at angles in general and got a glimpse that they are higher beings than humans in every way, I automatically thought this would be a good way of portraying a carer in the aspect that he is stronger than a lot of people because of what he has to deal with. I then looked at younger angels such as cupids because I wanted to add innocence to the character because children are innocent.   

Gustav Klimt



I really like Gustav Klimts work, and my clouds that I did for the studio art project, I then decided to link this with a lecture we were having about single line drawings. I did this because I thought the outcome would be interesting. I created a single line drawing with a difference as I used shapes and pattern to fill in the empty space rather than creating an outline, and I suppose this would also link with the form lectures we have received. I looked at Gustav Glimts work because personally I really like it and think it gives the audience so many things to look at. I like the way he uses shape to portray texture and depth.

Methods of drawing

This is a quick experimentation sheet that I did to experiment with the raw concept of my angel in different ways of drawing. I really like the mark method. It flows and adds a feel to the character, the form angel I don't like i feel that it is too difficult to determine what it is, however I like the simplicity of the line.
I do like the single line drawing style but I don't think it works in this case because it is too detailed, maybe if the form and single line was mixed together it would have been a better image.
