Using photographs for drawing

In the first photo, I drew over a news paper article photo to challenge if this would be a representation or expression. I used different colours to enhance the photo. I drew without looking but still with the image in view so I could still sort of follow the outlines. I really liked this outcome, although photographs are now argued to be the new drawing as they are a physical representation, where as now I have turned it back in to a real drawing.

The second picture was a page three model for people to admire as a representation of a beautiful woman, however I again played around with unconventional ways of drawing and used my fingers to smooth pair around her curves and express what I see as beauty rather than pornographic photos.

Representation vs. Expression Example

This is a comparison from my normal style in the top left of the photo to the new expressive embodied style in the bottom right. Here I was actually trying to feel the ridged mountain rather than drawing an exact representation which sometimes I do still prefer.
