Artists that I'm completely in love with

Audrey Kawasaki is totally awesome, she got me started on the nude women kick that I can't seem to shake off right now. I love her graphic line because she doesn't have to use it, she's a painter and can use values masterfully, but I genuinely think she enjoys using line.

This Barbara Canepa's work. She also had a hand in my obsession with the female body. This picture really reminds me of Schele's piece with the two women. They are wrapped together in a similar way. Haha, can you believe she used to work for Disney with this piece lol I think she does her own comic and magazine through Marvel now.

This is Junko Muzino, I really love her twisted fairy tale comics and the way she treats hair on her characters. Layers and layers of it. I try to copy it sometimes, but I tend to do this from memory instead of looking at her work at the same time. I came up with own version of this hair through that but I never got to master Muzino's hair exactly.

I'm doing master copies of these artist soon. :D

Control Contour awesomeness

I'm doing these sketches in my sketchbook dealing with contour which helps me complete pictures in Illustrator  with the pen tool.  These are the results :D

It wasn't that hard at all :D

I don't think using the charcoal pencils was that hard and drawing the sheet wasn't that hard either since I realized I draw draped clothes all the time in my personal sketchbook. The only thing I didn't like was that the led in my pencil was broken. The led broke when I was drawing some critical lines :( The pic might have some slightly different folds on the right side because I had to move the fixative under the sheet to spay the drawing #fail x_x

This Hw Assignment is Ridiculous!

I got the two point and one point perspective fine and I thought I had intuitive down too, but I guess not looking at my hw assignment. All I have to say is that couches are evil! I do the first one fine but other two have a could around them due to the amount of times I had to erase them to the chair somewhat ok. I hope I get better for future assignments >:I (haha I like that face).

Three Point Perspective! The Hardest of Them All!

Man, this hard to find...I tried searching for cityscapes and three point perspective and all I found were student assignments and photographs. This futuristic air city made by Nick Constantine ended my search. I don't see how he could have done this complicated city without drawing orthogonals hahaha

Two Point Perspective Example

This two point perspective landscape by R. C. Martin was hard to find but I found it! The painting is nice but he's not a personal favorite of mine. I was almost tricked by lake into think this was merely one point, but the houses proved to be two point perspective.

On Point perspective Example

 My goal when finding these pictures were to find artists that I liked using the stuff we are learning. I was able to do that with 2 out of three examples. Getting one point perspective was easy and seemed to be the most popular of the three, some I didn't even think were in "simple" one point perspective because of how complicated the landscape seemed.  I picked a clear one point by Bengal, a concept artist,  the more complicated one I couldn't find on a downloadable format.

Our First Assignment

Hello whoever is reading this *waves*! Haha, our first assignment's purpose has always been on the tip of my tongue. I mean, I knew some purposes that it could be but I felt like I needed to do it in order for me to really appreciate its reason for existence. I started then messed up and started over. I'm horrible with rulers because I make the lines straight but crooked at the same time (if that makes any sense) and my first attempt was especially off quilter so I got a new sheet out. In the middle of my second attempt, I found out why I was told to do this. Lines are the basics of drawing, and not just in a creating outlines way. They can portray distance, shape, and shading by how closely or far you draw the lines away from one another. Close= dark and further away. Spaced out = lighter and closer. I love lines. They help me planing the way I'll shade something and building 3d shapes (crosshatching and direction).
