I started my Final Major Project with research into old fashioned toys and I did this by visiting a
number of different galleries and museums and from this research gathered I formed the basis
of these drawings below. Each piece is different and will be forming the foundations of my
further development and the essence of my final artwork. I have worked on specially
selected backgrounds that were of meaning to each of the pieces of art that I have created.
All of the drawings will form a seperate page which together will make up my sketch book.
This image was created intentionally on the background
chosen and is a mixture of water colour paint ans also acrylic.
This drawing is of an old fashioned soldier toy. I used lined paper
to draw on with ink being the medium of my choice. I then stitched the piece
onto the spotted background paper.
This wooden doll was created from an image from a book that really
fascinated me. I used metallic stitch to draw the doll and also painted
the dolls face using water colour paint to create a different effect
for it in comparison with the body. This is one of my favourite
drawings overall.
This is one of the first drawings that I created using pencil. I
drew this image directly from one of the dolls at Blackburn Museum.
This image is simply on white cartridge paper.
This is another of the drawings I created at Blackburn Museum using pencil.
An image of a dolls face close up using a black marker pen that is
then stitched onto a pink background to create an old fashioned feel.
Almost like an image on wallpaper.
The drawing of the puppet was created using pencil but then it
was developed further in photoshop and a filter was added to it
called fresco to give the image an almost chalk and charcoal effect. This
image was drawn directly from my own puppet.
This is a monoprint. I used black prinitng ink to create the image
of a teddy onto some white cotton. This was developed from one
of my original drawings.
This piece containing the rocking horse was created using a multitude
of media. I used tracing paper painted with gold and drawing inks to create
the background and I used water colour paint to create the horse. Stitch is also
present in this piece on the horse and also the text is stitched into the piece.
This image of two wooden toys was another of the drawings that I created
at Blackburn Museum using pencil. I decided to draw the image on lined
paper and I have sewn it onto another piece of paper and then
onto the background that was specially made using gold paint and
drawing inks.
This painting has been created using water colour paint and also
different coloured inks. I wanted to create a dramatic look for the
face and I feel that this was captured in the image.
The dolls face image has been created onto a collaged background that has had
a wash of white paint over the top of it. The dolls face has been drawn
out using pencil and then painted onto the paper using water
colour paint.
This piece of the three teddies has been drawn onto brown paper using
black ink and a dip pen. The inspiration for this piece comes from
one of my original photographs.
This teddy was created on a brown paper background that had a
wash of white paint. The teddy image was sewn onto the page
and was created using black ink and a dip pen.
This image of the dolls face is a collaged piece of one of the
previous drawings that I have created. I have used specially
selected paper cut up and collaged over the background. The
image of the dolls face has been created by photocopying
one of my other images and enlarging it.
