ORIGINALLY I was going to talk about the work and then show it, but I have talked for a long time, so watch it now and then read. After the crit yesterday I was inspired to go and markmake. Read on, because this is probably the most interesting work I’ve made in a while. I’veContinue reading “Drake on the Docks – Play”

Work Play Work – Crit
I thought the crit was really interesting. I thought it lacked criticism and discussion somewhat, and could really have done with more structure and thought given to how much time each student was allocated. Because just like each crit in first year, the first few students get to talk for about twenty minutes each withContinue reading “Work Play Work – Crit”
Yes, the horrors are indescribable,
But you’ve got to serve. This meme suits Mitzi down to a T. Drawing something nice and simple and fun has reminded me that I can actually still draw.
Lo-Fi Printmaking: Monoprints
Below, in no particular order, are the drawing exercises we completed (blind drawing and partial peek drawing) and the monoprints that were inspired by the lines and shapes within them.
Crappy Illustration Morning
Sat down after a couple solid hours’ housework to draw Drake and Antonia in their classic halloween outfits. Did warm up drawings of the view out of my window to get my eye in and scribbled a bit to loosen up my hand. Found a good reference and made a good sketch. But when itContinue reading “Crappy Illustration Morning”
A Short Stay in Hell: Full Zine
Click HERE to view the full art-directed zine taken from Gabby’s original. Once you’ve taken a look at it, come back here. This is a very small version of all the pages together, to refer to if you’d like while you read my notes. NOTES. The narrative that started speaking to me in this zineContinue reading “A Short Stay in Hell: Full Zine”
Women Drivers…
This one is a mixed bag, but I learned a lot from it. Trying to colour tonally and THEN colour as well as that seems to dirty the piece overall. I’m going to have to take my skills one step further and simply pick tonally correct colours to complete the composition, which I look forwardContinue reading “Women Drivers…”
Nieves.ch explorations
I was sitting down to work on my zine – I’ve actually started referring to working in my head not as work, but as “Fucking around and finding out” – and I hopped onto Nieves.ch to take a look at some examples of good and interesting composition. I particularly liked Perks and Mini’s 100 pageContinue reading “Nieves.ch explorations”
The Littlest Knight
Did some sketches of Techo to get an idea for a lovely clunky Knight with some good shapes. I actually had an illustration by Chris Riddell in my head when I drew, from last year’s ditching trip, of a knight on a horse. You can see I chose my favourite image for composition and workedContinue reading “The Littlest Knight”
Drawing Workshop – Groups
Absolutely amazing drawing workshop today. You can track so clearly how my eyes and hands warm up. Really interesting talk from Jeremy about how figures can be tied together, made to sing and work together. Similar objects of attention, similar lighting, interacting poses, creating this sense of oneness. I loosened up throughout the session andContinue reading “Drawing Workshop – Groups”
