failed drawing.

I draw henna and anime contrasting with each other in the picture but it did not work. the anime part was ok but the henna didnt work. I beleive this is because of the colours i used, i used light colours that are not useualy used in henna. This has shown me that in my finel peice i will have to use dark colours to draw my henna.

Demonstrating shading techniques and human form

To demonstrate shading i used my research on the human form to draw an anime style person and used all the shading techniques on it.

Shading

In my scetchbook i have recorded 4 different shading techneques. Each one gives different textures to the work.

Henna

I  have re-created 3 henna artists work and have noted the differences and simularaties of there work.

Anime

I have taken a picture of my sister and then re-drawin it as anime style this gives me a better understanding of anime and how to draw it as i am not just coppying someone elses work.

Anime eyes.

I have looked up and drawn 9 different anime eyes as they are usually used to show facial expresstion and the feelings of the character.

Spider diagram.

I have created a spider diagram so that i have a starting point of my research of henna and anime. i have noted a bit of information on anime and henna and were you would find it as well as the sources that could be used to research it.
