It's been far too long since my last post. And I am going to admit that I have become rather preoccupied with "Pinterest". Although I haven't blogged in a decent 2 years, I have still been keeping my pencils and brushes busy. This being my first post in a long time, I thought to come back with a BOOM....along with some 'photorealist' style paintings that I have been working on for my year 12 art board.
We are making sculptures in art at school. I am doing a dog covered in bark, hence the reason why it's called "All Bark, No Bite". I'm sculpting it in the form of a fierce bull dog and it seems to be working because my dog is quite hesitant to go near it (I had to take a photo really quickly of her beside it). The head will be the most difficult part to make and I will continue to upload pictures of my progress as I go. =)
This is what I submitted for the Fifi Lapin competition...well kind of. After looking at some of Sandra Suy's works, I decided to draw what I entered for Fifi Lapin on a person. I didn't really focus on the shape of the dress though, more the colours. I am very dissapointed at how I drew her hands (especially her left one) O.o
I want to get better at drawing hands....
I go through phases of what I like to draw. When I was 9 I went through a Beatrix Potter phase, and then it went Marvel Superheroes, strange creatures, Anime, Shaun Tan, Anime again, and now ink drawings. I never trace pictures, sometimes I think it makes your drawings worse if you trace things.
This is the second phase - Marvel Superheroes:
I was 9 when I did these.
