Scribble Project - Final Drawing

 Black ball point pen on 22 x 26 inch poster paper.

“Two-Faced”

For this drawing I wanted to play on different interpretations of the concept of being “two-faced”, so this drawing could be seen in the context of emotion, personality, putting on a false front, or a literal Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde representation. However for my own personal inspiration it is more emotion based, I wanted to create a visual depiction of two strongly juxtaposed negative and positive emotions emerging from this sort of centre (the dark orb in the middle). Looking like there are trying to meld and balance with each other but wont mix and become to strong separate entities (emotions). As for the technicality of it I really wanted to play around with loose scribble line, I saw this assignment as an opportunity for very free line work rather then precision - however just scribbling tighter and tighter and going over areas where I wanted to emphasize certain features and detail. In relation to the idea that I was going off of I wanted to allow my own personal emotions and feelings to somewhat take control almost in a therapeutic way allowing very rough, angry and “careless” scribbling as a relevant part of the piece creating the dark areas as the light heavy dark to light gradient from the hair to the ends of the page. This piece took quite a long time as for the sheer amount of pen ink used through repetitive line work and creating progressively dark tones by layering but overall I really enjoyed this project because it allowed so much creative freedom and I really got the chance to kind of just let my hands and feelings have a whole mind of their own.

Ink Drawings Archive: Finished Paintings

Image
 Newsprint paper cut in half = One painting Ink, Water, and Glue  For this Project I decided that I wanted to play into the idolizations of celebrities, including both actors and singers. We have a tendency to put these people on a pedestal as if they are these untouchable gods that are on a whole other level. However the truth is they are humans just like the rest of us that make mistakes, and are no where near perfect. To play on this I decided to use pictures taken on the red carpet as the muse for my first archive (when a celebrity is meant to be looking their best and most beautiful/fancy) and then contrast these images with my second archive consisting of shiny objects - which is what we often treat and look at celebrities as. I would like to clarify that this is not at all a diss on celebrities, many of these people in the archive are some of my favourite actors and singers, it is mostly meant to be a fun play and how overboard we can go in idolizing these people to the...

Perspective Assignment

Image
 I would say I struggled with this assignment a fair amount, and I’m embarrassed to realize how little experience I actually have with perspective. I would think that over the years doing art I would have naturally picked it up, however as it turns out that was not the case because when we first started learning this I could not tell the difference between one, two and three point perspective which feels very silly because it seems like it should be common knowledge for an artist. Having the lines all accurately facing the right direction and tilting just right really messed with my mind but I think I definitely got the hang of it at least a little bit more then I did before we started this assignment, and any progress at all is still progress so I’ll take it! I would like to practice this a lot more on my own time because it was quite eye opening as to how much technicality there is for me to learn, things that could be really helpful to progress  in proportion accuracy and d...

Sketchbook Final

Image
 Done in 8.5 x 11 in Sketchbook This is what I have done in my sketchbook since the midterm evaluation, and although I am happy with the pages that I have, I do wish I had been able to practice more in it. I like that I got to do a lot of  “doodling” as I think that’s my favourite part of art in sketchbooks - it doesn’t have to be perfect or final. You can just draw whatever wherever in any colour to your hearts content and just let the creativity flow. That being said I wish that I had been less busy so that I was able to do more technicality practicing, such as shading and posing because although I love doodling, skill practice is just as important, I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked - what I was hoping to have as I talked about in my midterm sketchbook post. However when I got to take advantage of time I am happy with with what I did and learned through research and experimenting, although I just went into her briefly I especially want to look more into Louise...
