Exercise 2 Part 3 Joy

The emotion Joy made think of the idea of joy bubbling up and playful skipping lines.

The charcoal picture reminds me of an exploding party popper which wasn’t my intention but the more I look at it the more I see it.

The stick and ink drawing is far more bubbly but I’m not sure my use of the medium works it’s a little too scratchy.

The marker was interesting as I was using the soft brush-like nib to do the squiggly skippy lines the noise it made sounded like a squeaky giggle. I loved the idea of the pen “giggling” while I tried to indicate joy using line and got a little carried away putting lines in. I think it would have been better being left lighter in places allowing the bubbles to have more room.

The pastel was again using the bubbles of joy theme but this time coming through the darkness and technically I used two tools the pastel and a hard eraser to highlight certain bubbles.
