Here is my tonal drawing and development piece of the muscle man.

 

 

After researching into the artist Laura Ferguson i decided that i wanted to create a piece of work that was similar but explored deeper layers of flesh.

 

I began with a simple tonal drawing of the muscle man, picking out the detail.

 

I then began to think about an appropriate background.

 

Rachel Goodyear uses marbling to create her backgrounds so i began to experiment with different marbling inks until i found a colour that was both masculine and light. I then copied the image onto the paper creating my own inspired piece.
