I am still experimenting with the dripping techniques but I am using different media. Ink works well as it naturally drips and when dry it doesn’t loose its vibrant colour, it still looks the same as when I put it on the surface. I have tried different media to work on such as wood but I found that the colour looses its brightness. Instead of drawing the image of an animal I have photographed them and worked from that but still sticking to the dripping technique. It creates a real feeling but I personally find that it isn’t drawing, as all I have done is print off an image. I have also tried it in acetate and layering the images and found that it distorts it but the acetate on its own is quite bland as there is no colour, also I find that it still isn’t drawing.

I want to try other ink colours to see what colours works well with the animal I am drawing and to see the intensity in the colour is still there after it has dried. Also to try other media to work on such as foam board to see how the liquid reacts to the media, if it soaks in or balances on the surface. As soon as I find a combination that works I want to focus on it and produce as much work from it and see where to progress.
