Varying scale drawings

A selection of images from a drawing workshop,exploring scale of image. I decided to draw from an image of a sample of french knots.

Large scale drawing pictures

Here are some images of my big drawing, I decided to use fine liner and make a continuious line darwing of the soldiers on a journey.

ImperialWar Museum Pictures, medicine section

Above are several artificial limbs from the Imperial War museum.

Here is one of the masks, this one must have been used by a soldiers with an eye injury.

World War One soldiers research

These soldiers have been my main inspiraton for this project

The Great War marked a turning porint in plastic surgery, these types had injuries had rarely been seen before and so people were shocked with how there men looked returning home from battle. Many ways were researched in creating small moulds of skin-like masks that these soldiers wore each day to cover their injuries.

Paddy Heartley research

This project has been very much inspired by a particular Artist called Paddy Hartley,intially I was interested in the way he combines text and image. Although from researching his work further It gave me further inspiration for his apprection for the different shapes he could create with the human face. I wanted in my own work to explore the distorted marks left on the soldiers faces from battle and see how I could interpret this idea in my own work.

Sketchbook work from Imperial War Museum

Some observational drawings i did in my sketchbook when at the Museum

Some more images, but I felt that these images best related to my project. Here I found the medical section, the images show some of the medicines and leg splints that would have been used during the time of the Great War. Here there is some sketchbook work exploring line drawing from observing the images i took at the museum of the medical equipment.
