...More Life Drawings...

Sorry for the delay of my life drawings, some were rolled up a bit too hard so I had to use a load of books to flatten them out.

My first selection of life drawings are in pencil, here we were allowed freedom to do whatever we chose, so I decided to try and develop a more abnormal 'messy' style, I had recently felt like I was doomed to follow lines, so this was a nice exercise for me to release some tension/anger.

Our next lesson consisted of us using charcoal, I had barely used it before, but it was a interesting change, and I think I developed my skills through this lesson...

..More Lifing Drawings: Negative Spacing...

More Life Drawing...

I didnt feel 100% when drawing these images, we were meant to be using the proportion method with use the tip of a pencil to measure the body and make a accurate figure, I think to me feeling a bit sick it didnt help my work, but I believe I gave it the best I could so thats all you can ask of someone...

Third Life Drawing Lesson....

This lesson our usual model, (Becky?) couldn't make it, so we decided to use random objects, as well as (dressed) students for our models. We also experimented with a variety of charcoals as well as exchaning our canvas' with others...

This canvas is where we all exchanged seats and drew on each others, it was quite a interesting experiment with plenty of humour.

This canvas is where we had to draw on the paper withou looking towards the canvas itself, it was very tricky, and as you can see, I need some practice with this.

Facial Drawings...

So I finally got my graphics tablet, so I decided to do my head studies on photoshop, and I recieved the final results....

Second Life Drawing Lesson...

I had my second life drawing lesson yesterday, and I have recently decided that I needed to work on my 'faint lines', so I experiemented with a variety of pencils and I came out with the following results...

We were also asked to create a cubism image only using triangles and squares, as you can see I used a high concentration of shapes when shadowing was needed and few where light was needed...

Feet Drawings...

I finally got around to drawing my feet! I was looking forward to doing so due to my hands coming out better than expected, but unfortunately I dont think I managed to reach my full potential because they were very hard! But I think I did myself justice...

Supporting Splicing Scorpion Work (drawings)

[STILL IN PRODUCTION]


For our first creative project we were asked to splice and mutate our selves with a particular animal, and then do a self portait within Photoshop of ourselves, in my case, I recieved the Scorpion...
I have been doing some research and drawings into the arm/hand/bicep area of my spliced self, so far I’m deliberating whether or not to split the arm totally, join the fingers to have a three large fingers, or even have half the arm with a pincer coming out the arm itself, almost like the fingers have dissolved and the pincer has literally ripped out of my arm….here are a few drawings so far….

This first image is a begining process, the kind of process where you glance at your hand, and you seem something out of the ordinary, its kinda the part of your life where you wonder, how on Earth did this happen...

This image is illustrating for myself the idea of when you know something is changing (I would hope so if your arm ripped off). It is when you know you wont be yourself for much longer. I came up with this pose from the games Bioshock 1 & 2, through out the game you can see your hand which can be blended with different elements, this pose in particular is from eletricity, im a huge fan so I wanted to use my "Bioshock-knowledge" to better my work.

This next drawing I wanted to see the pincer coming through the arm, as if it was putting a glove on, except for the glove is your arm, I also figured that if I did have a pincer for a arm then my bicep would definitely need to stretch, thus giving my fingers (if they stay attached) could reach my mouth in order to place food in there.I thought it was quite logical.

Skeletal Cross Overs

Here are a couple of sketetal cross over designs, I of course had the problem of Scorpions now having skeletons, but I decided to use the entire body of the skeleton and translate it over. The only main difference of course is the tail, which I couldn't include in one of the cross overs because I believe it to be close to physically impossible for a human to sprought a tail that long, but it doesn't mean it will be cut from my final self portrait image.

 Rough Sketches and Ideas

First Life Drawings...

I think to think I learnt a lot from my first life drawing lesson, I found that I draw very faint, which is fine if you are up close to the image, but is very much useless if you want to see from a distance, or even when scanning into a computer; so my first criticism is just to be more confident with my tools: pens, pencils, rubbers, and even my eyes...

Please also excuse the lateness of this post, I was waiting for a day with plenty of light so I could get the most out of the images, and me working on weekends doesnt give me all the time in the world...
