At the beginning of the unit we were set too produce some tonal work using multiple materials. This consisted of using pencil in different tones such as shading lighter and heavier in places ad things like that, Below will be some examples of the work i produced as well as explanations on how I produced this.
The image above is one of the first pieces of tonal work I produced using simple pencil shading too produce this technique, I think this is very effective on insects as if used properly it can really show off the look of the insect and the shiny, Ridged, ETC. effects.
This second image is of the first pen image I completed, I personally like the pen tonal work more as I believe it is more effective than the pencil as you can really make certain parts of the insect stand out. So as you can see with the pen I have made more lines thicker than the rest too try and show off the look of the inset a style I personally prefer.
This is the third and one of the final examples, This is showcasing a combination of the two, Pen ad Pencil. I used a rubbing technique on the pencil too show a fading effect on the insect which I think worked really well and made the piece look complete on a whole.
The final image is a simple pencil drawing not much tonal work done as I didn't enough time but my idea was too use the spots in the middle too rub them and too give the insect some sort of 3D effect which I am hoping too come back too at some point and complete. To see how it would turn out. Personally I think it will work well.
