Hope Gangloff

Gangloff's biro work is something I came across on pinterest and immediately took a likening too. To use such a simple media in such a beautiful way really got me excited. The consideration of composition and selective colour with an eye for mark making and line quality makes each of his pieces absolutely astounding. It was also interesting to see the differences and similarities in his painting work and how he translated his tone of voice consistently over the different media.

I'd like to develop my practical line skills and more accurate anatomy. Tone of voice is something I find myself struggling with a lot as I work in very versatile ways. This is good as it allows me to tackle a range of briefs in different ways, but developing a consistent tone of voice that feels right for me is something I definitely want to do throughout level 5 and 6. A lot of the work I made last year felt, stylistically, a little overdone and exploring my own way of drawing is something I want to capitalise on. I felt over summer, drawing a lot from reference and life allowed me to start getting a grip on how I want the visual aesthetic of my work to look, building from this I'd like to do more life based drawing going into the future.
