Some Works in Progress

Now that my essay is more than the title I thought I'd upload some of the things I've been working on over the holidays for my Obsession project. The painting on the left was inspired by a poem by Edgar Allen Poe, I think. Apologies for the terrible phone photos.

Obsession Project Work: Graves

So these are some initial drawings from the direction I'm hopefully going to take forward to my finals. The first set of graves are drawn from life in Maidstone Churchyard. I used an expensive looking carbon pencil for these, which gave strong blacks and didn't smudge much.
The second set were drawn without reference using a spongebrush and inks. The spongebrush was probably a bit too big for small scale drawings.
