Here I write about the art I make, the process, ideas, etc.
In this piece I looked at a small metal hand that came from a necklace, and I zoomed into it and drew it with graphite pencils. I really wanted to try and capture all the small details on the object so the viewer would be able to appreciate what would normally be too small to see.
This is a self portrait piece I did with charocal. It isn't my favorite. I was really pacticing and learning how to use charcoal. I ended up drawing my face a bit wonky, but i feel like I really captured the vibe I give off.
I really like this peice! I was done with ink, I used a variety of pen to get different line quality. I really practicticed with how thin I can get a line, as you can see on the hair, I also practiced with shading with pen especially on the the skin. The prompt for the piece was to combine a bunch of misalanious objects/things into one artwork. I used a woman as a subject and had her surrounded by man-made machinery and pipes. Her slightly forelorn expression shows how out of place and isolated she is. I wanted to express how sometimes technology can worsen our lives.
The prompt for this piece was to paint a vivid memory you have. The memory for this piece was when I was ten years old outside hiking with my family, it was dusk with a slight chill. We had been hiking for a a couple of miles at this point and I was pretty tired. As we were walking back I heard the sound of some footsteps coming from the forest, but when I looked nothing was there. I was fine of couse, but as a kid that was pretty spooky. For the painting part I first covered the board in a layer of gesso then I painted the sky with water color and the trees and grass with acrylic. The acrylic makes the trees really pop out and seem more imposing while the watercolor on the sky gives it a bit of a odd feeling.
This is a pastiche work I did of manga artist Hideshi Hino. Hino specializes in art of the disturbing and grotesque. For my pastiche I had a youg woman looking fearfull, but unbeknownst to her there is a monster looming just above her head. I only showed a little bit of the monster so as to leave it up to the imagination as to what it looked like, and create fear from the unkown. The piece was done entirely in watercolor.
I really wanted to push myself with this one. I chose to draw a skeleton at a 3/4ths angle from below. The sketch took most of the time, but I really feel like it was worth it to get the upshot of the ribcage. for the painting I used an analogous color scheme of blue, green, and purple. and a little twinge of yellow on the ribs as a complentary to the purple.
This was a black print I did where I was the subject. The face im making in the picture is a little sinister. Im looking up with a devious smile as a shadow covers hald my face. It represents a certain aspect of my personality, that being how im a little goofster, I like to laugh and play with my friends alot even if it not an appropriate situation to be doing that. All of this to the dismay of some of my teachers.
This is an acrylic piece I did, I wanted it to look simple, yet a little dreamlike. The subect of the landscape is really ordinary, with a small stream and scarce trees, but its also a little dreamlike with a hazy purple sky and a small river thats almost a candy blue. I aswell experimented with a conplementary underpainting, you can really see it in the waterfall thats almost as red as it is blue.
