Observational Drawing

These observational drawings all began as pencil sketches on location.

-

The first two were scanned then coloured in Photoshop using a graphics tablet. Whereas adding colour to the original could only happen once, the scanned copy could be reworked with different colour combinations.

On the other hand, using coloured pencil delicately has worked in this drawing. Sharp and uneven marks of yellow pencil give the kite energy and a feeling of movement. Areas of colouring from pencil have a unique texture and roughness which is sometimes better suited than the much cleaner effect from digital colour.
