Sorry for the horrendous lack of updates and poor attention this site has recieved.
I have work but since it's the end of the semeseter I have to get a lot of crap done.
I hope to update this more frequently as soon as I can. | | |
| Independent project
This was the last project in painting that I did this semester. It was an independent project each student had to construct and set goals for themselves. Mine were relatively reached in the issues of colour, symbolism and rendering. I'm mostly satisfied with both piece, and they're meant to be seen together, though they can be stand alone.
Detailed shots, sketches, and progression shots will be added later.
Media: Oils
Time: (later)
Canvas: Oval-11x14 Square- 22x28

| Still life project
This was a source based still life. The second project in my painting class. I used a loose reference for my painting. I wanted to depict a surreal atmosphere. The bottles frame the piece, as if looking into a scene, and the other pottery seems to be floating on water, while they're laid into sand.
That was my original intention, though I'm not sure if I succeeded as well as I could. The rendering is average and the use of water is somewhat blurred and loose.
The colours are bright and help give the definition of stark contrasts of warms and cools.
The total time was: (later)
Media: Oils
Canvas: stretched by hand, 36x36 (I believe, I'll have to check again)

| A study in the glow technique via Photoshop
Thumbnails perhaps when I have the time, but for now I can provide links to my photobucket account.
1. Practice
This is one of my favorite pieces because of my inspiriation and the calm feeling it seems to give. Though it needs work, I rather like the contrast of blue and red. Total time about 1.5-2.5 hours? I forget, but it was at night and I stayed up late hehe. I was initially focusing on the figure but decided to add a background as an afterthought.
2. Finished
This piece took about 2.3/2.5 hours. The anime line drawing was constructed before hand, just from my head and without references. I followed through with the glow technique and chose to apply angular lines as opposed to curvilinear as most anime images have. The composition is rather bland and the doll like face is expressionless. Probably the most visually appealing but the least successful.
3. Another piece
Though this was a good piece, considering I drew it from my head and was breaking away from anime but still using the glow technique, it works well on that account. But as for the use of colour and anything resembling a good image, this isn't successful. Moreso I consider it a sketch and a good practice piece. Time: 2 hours? | | |
