Introduction
In this resource you will explore different ways to draw outside capturing the movement of the world with dynamic mark making.
Exercise 1
Find someone or something in motion and draw it without looking at your page. Allow your mark making to be free and expressive, don't worry about accuracy and instead think about dynamic lines and different ways you can create marks.
Exercise 2
For the next warm up exercise you will draw looking upwards. Try to find a place where something is towering over you such as a building or a tree. How does this unusual perspective change the way you draw?
Exercise 3
Set up a large sheet of paper on the ground to begin a larger drawing. Think of this drawing as a spontaneous experience on paper rather than a representation of the world. You can combine multiple perspectives and parts of the world around you that are in different places. The key is to capture the hustle and bustle of the world with dynamic marks and movement. Use your rags and rubbers to work back and forth to create layers within the work. Think about what what you have learnt in the warm ups about different view points and marks.
