Sketchbook Final

 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 Bourgeois this summer and find out where I would have to go to see some of her work. I also hope to do more art with dark paper and white gel pen because I find it very aesthetically pleasing, so I was happy to be able to play around with it in my sketchbook and the body as a line project. I had fun with my sketchbook this semester but I definitely still wish I had more drawings in it and hope to get into a better habit of practicing daily even if it’s just small little sketches, I still have some open pages so maybe I will be able to start working on that habit this summer.

Flower doodles with marker.

Doodle page with whiteout tape and pen.

Term research and brainstorming for the Ink project, doodling.

Experimenting with ink, I water washed the page with a thick brush and then dropped ink right from the bottle onto the paper to see how it would spread and dry.

Some art using ink and a white gel pen, I really enjoy using the gel pen on dark paper and ink was a great way to create that dark contrast.

Idea sketches for a sculpture project - brainstorming a sculpture project lol.

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...
