Another handful field trip

I went out on a few more trips to the Yorkshire sculpture park and Otley.

This was at the Yorkshire sculpture park. I originally sat down to draw a sculpture in a peaceful part of the park (although off peak the full park is wonderfully silent). However at the time there was also this kid who was shouting for his dog named Jill (which is a weird choice of a name for a dog sounds more like an auntie) This instantly distracted me from concentrating on silence and thought I would approach this field trip research from the other side and focus on the noises of the Yorkshire sculpture park.
I created this in oil pastels which i quite enjoyed working with it gives it a child like look especially on the text which looks playful.

This is one of many ducks that where quacking around while i was sat down at the sculpture park. i think natural noises
are much more listenable however, i guess that's why people listen to bird noise radio. For this i stamped an ink pad on the page for the blue background but this didn't really work the page also has markings from my oil pastel drawing but i like the textures that this brought to my image i like the fact it's not very controlled. 

Here, are several more ducks making noises there was an island of them which i thought was cool they must of been about
20 - 30 ducks having a great time on this small island. These are just simple pen line drawings i enjoy the process of doing this as i can get images down very quickly which is good for ideas.

Once i thought about concentrating on noises on this field trip i immediately made an almost sound board of text noises.
some of these where more annoying then others and i tried to symbolise that with the size and length of the sound. I think this is good refernce for any text of noises for animals or potential sound effects i think i will continue to try this just to build a big research of noises translated into text. 

These are drawings from my trip to Otley on my way there i was across a mother and her child who said 'innit'
after every sentence which i found funny. she also ate way too much KFC for a child which resorted to her
feeling like she was going to throw up. This was a reportage drawing  and i kinda needed to act fast cause everytime the kid said something funny i needed to do a quick drawing but i think it builds up a little story and i think some of the lines in this are nice. 

This is a drawing based on this shopping list i find in the dirt in the middle of the otley woods.
I decided to keep it as a potential source of inspiration for any kind of story.

I wanted to work on colour paper when doing this as it's an easy way to introduce colour. This was a quick reportage of otley's christmas fair i thought i should introduce more images of sound to maybe get a better understand of silence?
Overall, i really like an orange and black colour combination and i'm excited to do more reportage on colour.

here is a quick ink drawing of the biggest line of hikers i have ever seen!! this might look cool as a completed image
if i took time drawing the 70 odd more of them all coming out one by one out of the woodlands.

127 hikers in total also this is a representation of my stability while hiking as throughout these filed trips.
my legs slipped on most rocks. I think i will translate more thoughts into drawings to build more research
on me throughout these field trips.
