Big Close Up Drawings

As part of my project I'm continuing to make these rather large drawings, using the wall as my table. So, here are a few images of the most recent ones I've done :)

 I was advised to try some paper folding, so by using my leafy photographs as references I gave it a shot!

 I noted how the veins could not be accurately recreated by simply folding the page, so I took an A1 page and crumpled it up as much as I possibly could. The veins in a leaf are random and intricate

Above is the finished page. I used compressed charcoal to highlight all the protruding crumples of the page. I like how it defines between the positive and negative areas. I was happy with the overall result and think I will definitely be trying this technique in various ways :)
