Our final dip pen and ink task was to do a drawing of a room in our house, I picked my bedroom as it is the place where I spend most of my time. I used Lucinda Rodgers as my main influence for this piece, which I think I have captured well by using variety in my mark making. I sketched this piece in pencil and then went in with ink using a smaller dip pen for the finer lines and a bigger dip pen for the thicker lines. The most difficult thing about this piece was deciding where to add the thicker lines as Lucinda Rodgers seems to place line instinctively, where as I had to be a bit more selective in my choices. I think my favourite part of this piece is the pillows and my little teddy creating a slight shadow, as I feel I have captured a very sweet detail. If I was to do this task again I would possibly choose a different artist, as I wish I could have captured the light in my room spilling on to my bed in more detail which I could have done quite successfully using a cross hatching technique. Overall, I feel that I have been successful in taking something 'boring' and making it interesting.
