Daniel Egneus

Daniel Egneus is a vivacious artist, who uses mixed media to depict a wide variety of subject matter. I have looked at his pen and ink drawings to inspire my practice, including the way he illustrates a face and his still life pieces as they were the most relevant for this project. 

In the work I have produced I have tired to convey how I have been influenced and inspired by Daniel Egneus. I enjoyed recreating his art work and feel like I created a successful copy. However, I have struggled to recreate his style in my own portrait, as I feel I have controlled the line too much. I got too caught up in trying to capture my own likeness, rather than being more expressive and experimental with my line and use of ink. I learnt from this and in my drawing of the pots and pans I have tried to play with perspective and feel that I have been more playful and confident when putting down marks. Next time, I think to further my self improvement I could have experimented with drawing different objects aiming to capturing more intricate and lucid details to contrast with the bolder and brisker marks.
