For this technique, I tried a lot of different things with different types of ink. Ranging from sharpie, drawing ink and a white posca pen. I tried to utilise the ink in a range of different ways, however, I found that this style was not as effective as I wanted.
I started off by scribbling on the image with a sharpie, and while I didn't hate this technique, I didn't feel as though it stood out enough, and just looked a bit boring.
I then moved onto white posca pen ink, which is a thick chalky marker that creates a very opaque ink. I drew a circle of colour over the models' face and then lifted the image to let it drip down. I didn't mind this technique as I thought the ink was a nice contrast against the red clothes within the photograph, however, I didn't think it was interesting enough to be my final resolution for my project.
I then tried to combine the scribble technique with the dripping technique, but I felt as though it was too considered and stylised, therefore I decided not to explore that technique any further.
I then moved onto drawing ink, which gave me the opportunity to work with ink that is very easy to manipulate due to its watery nature. I again, didn't mind this technique, but I felt as though it was a little boring and repetitive.
I then tried a slightly different approach wherein I put multiple spots onto the image, to try and make it a little less predictable. I actually quite liked the image on the left-hand side because I felt as though it was pretty interesting and not too repetitive.
I then tried taking the multiple dots a little further by shaking the paper and splattering the brush, before the ink dried. However, I felt that this started to take away from the image itself too much, and was a bit too distracting.
While I really tried to explore this technique to its fullest extent, I found that it just wasn't that interesting and/or unique. I felt as though this had been seen before and that I couldn't really take it any further than I already had.
