Tribal mark making

Marks to represent tone

Starting to look at tone and see how line marks can show types of tone. I used some tribal images from my previous projects and used pen and pencil techniques such as dotting, and decreasing pressure on paper to create gradation tone.

I also experimented with simple lines to show a sense of tone - the closer together they are the more of a solid colour it becomes. I learnt a lot about different ways you can create tone.

Using water as a form of tone, mixing colours using water colour pencils. The colour corresponds nicely with the actual image and creates quite a sad tone. The gun adds to this but because of the colours, doesn't show a sense of power but perhaps a sense of honour and vulnerability.
