Colour work

Now that I had some interesting shapes to work with, I decided to try working in colour. First I interpreted my OHP light photographs using coloured pencils, extracting the colours and attempting to mimic the naturally fuzzy texture of the light.

Colours altered to be more blue



 

I then looked at my pen drawings, and tried using the pencil effect to make it look as if the shapes were moving, again using the colours from the OHP light photographs. Blending colours using small pen strokes also gives the images some energy, and the bold contrasts are in keeping with the TRON colour work.



From Design Taxi's website, this series of pieces by 1010 called 'Abyss' shows a similar use of colour and shape to produce an illusion of depth:



I later found this work entitled 'Forever Bicycles' by Ai Weiwei on Colossal's website, which also uses repetition of shapes to emphasise their 3D nature and makes them seem as if they are moving:
