(already for longer than a month actually..)
Painting Class
we do oil paintings
I'm really bad at oil painting, I'm having a lot of trouble and my teacher doesn't like anything I do.. she's on my case about everything which is good since she's trying to help me but it's frustrating.
We did an abstract painting which I already gessoed (gesso'd?) over.
Here's the first still life:
We're on the second still life which isn't going well aha
I also have to do another abstract piece which I'm slacking on because.. oil
Media Class
First piece we did was ink! We had to draw a sea animal (our choice) and it had to be with the first letter of what it's called. I decided to do a hermit crab and I was ok-ish with the finished piece. My critique actually went well and the piece is being displayed in the illustration building which was a nice surprise! (found out when I snuck in at 3am)
Second project was a cut paper portrait and I just realized I never photographed or scanned that. Well I still need to get back my finished piece so I'll scan that when I get it back.
Right now we're doing watercolor portraits! we're gonna do a ton. Right now I'll show my grandpa since his came out ok, I still need to do a lot of trials!
Illustration Class
We just finished our first project. It took forever but we're gonna pick up the pace since we know the process now. Our first piece was on phobias and I did mine on heliophobia (fear of the sun.)
I'm just gonna put the pieces in process since I scanned those!
Thumbnail
Sketch based off thumbnail
Refined sketch (my attempt and failure at perspective)
Final Sketch!
Super duper tight lines lineart I don't know it was for value studies I spent an entire class on the final study but I didn't scan it it was a really intense tiny sketch
{update here's that final value study I used:}
And the final!! which is photographed horribly because it was 4am and I was dead tired
I'll get a better photo one day. It got a super good critique which was shocking since I had liked it a lot more when it was just ink and I thought I killed it with the watercolor.. but people liked it so eh.
Btw for each one of those we had to do a critique.. all class.. it was torture.
MISCHELAANOUS
besides school I actually have art projects planned with my friends!
I'm gonna make a signature stamp for my pieces since we have to have our name on each so we're gonna take advantage of our school's lazor (lazer) cutter.
I'm also going to these digital art demoes the school holds.. although I've yet to get the groove of it so all I have are these doodles..
that's all for now!
