Adapting my drawing technique

I feel like a lot of my drawing style so far has been very controlled and neat. I feel this may be due to me working in the sketchbook and therefore I am subconsciously thinking too much about the page as opposed to my actual drawing. Therefore my next step to develop my work is to move on to larger scale surfaces. I think another way to move my work forwards is to look back at drawing exercises I have learnt before. This week I’ve been using techniques such as blind drawing and restricting myself to a time limit. It has loosened up my mark making which has helped give a bit more variety.

Based on the tiled collage I created inspired by Merci Paris I cut a square viewfinder in cartridge paper and drew within the box. I allowed myself to go over the edges which cut the drawing off in some areas. I wanted to mirror the idea of the drawing being contained to a square and being dictated by the shape of the perimeter.
