Unit 4, part 1 - Futurist drawing

Man Walking Dog, drawn in a park near King's Heath, of a man walking his dog on the way past where I sat with my friend, Jason. This was the first time I'd tried drawing like this, so I didn't draw the dog before it ran off.

Dave Working, drawn at college during an art lesson, of Dave working opposite me. I can't remember what he was working on.

Abi & Co., drawn at college during an art lesson, of the table next to mine where Abi and her posse sit.

Lisha & Johnny, drawn at college during break time, two humans sit on each other, one holds a mobile phone.

Raghav and Sam Playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, drawn at college, in which a couple of college mates sit at a table playing a card game during a free period.

While studying Marcel Duchamp for my Unit 4 art course, I decided to achieve my own Futurist drawings by drawing while the subjects moved, often without them knowing, so the movements I have captured natural and unimposed.

It's a bit like taking a long exposure shot on camera, but drawing it.

I'm quite happy with how they've turned out, capturing the abstraction of movement, the obfuscation of freezing many moments in time into one single image.
