David Bowie is an idol, in many ways and in many aspects of my life. Whether it be his music, his style, what he represents in history. On one particular day I came across this image of him and thought it would be a good one to use to practice drawing in Biro- rather than just black Biro ,which i have previously used at GCSE and AS, I decided to use black, blue, and red to add a different dimension to the image.
And in true punk style, I experimented with the photocopier to see what the image looked like in different colours. Taking the peachy tones from the original image I thought orange would compliment the drawing well and fit in with the 'vibe' I was hoping to achieve.
I then worked from real life. Using my boyfriend Ben as a model I began an observational drawing in the style of the first Biro
drawing then worked into it further later on. and additionally used the photocopier to see what the outcome would be changing the colour settings. I really like how using two colours came out, again it reminded me very much of Warhol's iconic pop art screen prints.
