Firstly, I created a series of distorted portraits in black biro pen, which was heavily influenced by Ricardo Fumanal; I mainly focused on the females as there is a lack of male portraits involved in my research. There was a variety of positions and distorted features across the portraits which gave me more of an idea of what looked most effective.
I then experimented more with colours on acetate. My initial research suggested that inks created a much more vibrant effect, so I tested different colours and positioning on acetate portraits; the first one I tried was based on the interior of the portrait, which involved me injecting colour onto the clothing, rather than the background. This was less successful because it left the hair and face quite flat, whereas I wanted the same strength throughout the whole image.
The second experiment was with the exterior of the portrait; this was definitely much more of a success because the actual portrait gave the impression that it was on a separate layer while the interior experiment lifted the clothing.
My final experiment was with a couple portrait of Fran and Adam, in the style of Agnes Cecile. Effectively, it was my own version of a portrait which I studied in the previous research. I had since developed my use of mediums from paint to ink as I felt that the ink created more of a naturally bright effect which dripped a lot easily in comparison to the acrylic.
