art dump

I haven't had a proper update in ages, have I? Well, I've been busy. That, and lazy. The usual.

Nevertheless, here are some pictures for you to stare at.

Yeah, I draw on MSN, because it's fun.

Yargghhh, (bad attempt at) perspective.

Daani surrounded by some species of flowers that probably don't exist, but do I care?
Obviously not.

Makes you want to roll around in some big open space

with some hot blue-eyed blond

doesn't it?

I grew to love these two random people.

K is for Kiba. Which is his name.

I would like to wear that outfit. Though it'll probably be hot. And kinda itchy.

I love Aredhel. I wish he was real so he could be my boyfriend. *sigh*

Daani (left) and Dai (right) are twin brothers (yes, the one with long hair is also a guy). I love them.

Daani again. He's just a lot of fun to draw. And no I didn't draw that 'D'. I edited it with Photoshop. I cheated.

Dareios. He is emo. Fear his demon eye, please.

Random person rendered with cross-hatching. Twas done in Photography class, don't tell my lecturer.

Abah

♥HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ABAH!!!♥

In celebration, tomorrow we are going to stay a night in a hotel in PD. Teehee!

Let It Out

Drawing 2 final project.

black & white acrylic and collage, with additional poster paint detail on 18x22 inch canvas

Based on this picture:

Juanes! I'm not exactly a fan of him, though I was once upon a time addicted to La Camisa Negra (and I still like it). I chose this pic because it was suitable, with its various shades of grey. When converted into black and white, that is.

^My reference pic, in all its kertas-conteng-ey glory. Look, you can see a little doodle Zuko at the bottom there, haha.

Progress pics:
(excuse the lousy pics, I only had my phone with me at the time)

^Figure drawn in using grid lines, because I'm not that good yet, okay.

^Figure painting completed.

^Collage background using newspaper clippings. For the base, I used small random text, then painted over it with white acrylic, allowing the text to show slightly, then pasted larger words or phrases on top of that layer.

^Second layer was painted over as well.

^Splashes of poster paint... I diluted the paint, then poured little amounts of it onto the canvas and blew on them to make the tendril effect. It seriously made my head dizzy and I had to stop for a few minutes after every colour.

^Finished product!!! Some detail was made with charcoal... i.e. the outline of his t-shirt.

I had to write a statement saying why this and why that, but I'm too lazy to explain it here. The title is "Let It Out". See if you can guess for yourself what the message is.
