this is the final piece i made for my project i was happy with the outcome, it was larger than others i had done but i wanted to be this way. i wanted this distorted look about it and that it wasnt perfect in look, i am not so why should it be.

trying out areas

trying out different markings on leg, feet, arm, hand side of torso. i think i use the torso arm and leg having them all or the torso and leg joined

position

i have decided as my final piece to make a large collection of photos as i have been playing about with. i am working on the areas of the bodyto see which will be used.
here was figuring out where markings would be. i had began thinkin on the back but that proved too hard so i decided the side. i was trying to get a crease in the skin at the side aswell as i thought this would distort the figure in the photos

looking at skin

I decided i wanted to take the marks off my skin and at the same time collect the markins of the skin. It was a good way to look at different movements of the body and capturing them in something solid, as for my final piece i will need to look at the placement of different parts of the body.

hand marks

In these photos i was trying different markings on the the hand...here i rolled ink along the skin on a pen. I like the tire like markings

ink markings

foot

I tried a larger photo collage of my foot with the lines along the top, i used black and white with a touch of colour at the heel

some playing around

just playing around with some photos. /\ above - using both colour and black and white. like the variation.
