This drawing is an observational drawing of a pair of my boots. The inspiration to draw this came from looking at Jim Dine’s tonal drawings and after analysing the piece of artwork ‘a pair of shoes’ by Vincent Van Gogh. Jim Dine is known well for his extreme contrast in tone from light to dark. The media i used was ink (sponged and stick), graphite, pencil, black acrylic paint, biro and a rubber.
I wanted to create a very three dimensional drawing so i used a wide range of tones and exaggerated the highlights and shadows. You can tell it is linked with Jim Dine from the use of media and application of media. I used A3 cartridge paper as i wanted just a plain background for the drawing so the main focus would be the boots themselves.
This drawing turned out as well as I wanted and i captured all the tones I wanted to.
