So, now Christmas is over it is back to the grind with homework. I am behind as I have been focussing on cooking! Just before Christmas I did a couple of pieces of Dad that I discussed in an earlier post. I may revisit them later as I think it is a cool way to…
That is the nominal title of this because that was what I kept thinking as I drew it. We had to pick a small object (or objects) and make it seem large. That way we examined what makes something appear huge. I figured that foreshortening and a submissive angle on the part of the viewer…
Or tone and scale… This is a cityscape I did as part of an assignment in tone and scale. We were required to do this in a set order and manner (although the subject matter was our choice) we needed a landscape with a fore, middle and back ground and started with a page covered…
I have been working frantically on my coursework. I have quite a bit due in just over a week. I have it almost in hand now but I am stressed still. The last projects were on Tone with a couple of collages. It turns out that collages are not a strong point. And do you…
Long time no post! This is a drawing from my coursework – the project is tone and the exercise was to draw a crumpled piece of paper. The interesting thing here is that it is actually painted in an ink wash which is one of the suggested media. In this subject ‘drawing’ means a variety…
I am having a couple of issues uploading photos at the moment – so it isn’t that I am not working or anything, I will put something up as soon as I get this nutted out.
It is a good thing to move with a few weeks to pack and prepare, a good weekend to move big stuff and a week for that final crossover time…. This results in ostracized friends, stress, lost things, stress, an eon unpacking, and a mess at both ends…. Even the evil telstra connections will be good as I arranged them early so all of the installations will be done while we are moving so I can supervise unpacking and installation all at the one time!Oh and we are getting foxtel IQ mmmmm- time to watch the shows I never actually get to see because of the stupid times they are on…
To be honest i am not that happy with this, the assignment was to draw a number of items in an enclosed space on an A4 sized piece of paper. we had to do it in line and communicate the different surfaces using line. I am a psychopathic renderer and I think I have over…
I finally felt up to starting my enormous Drawing courseload today. The planning was done in bed but I had to stand to complete the final drawing. I did ok but I forgot how tiring pen and ink is!! its very different working on an A2 sized pad from working in a visual diary but…
I had a horrible dream last night where everywhere i turned everyone was telling of to in back to project management and to give up my dreams of being an artist- that i would make more money and be more secure…. I met an artist there who was telling of that that is what he did because art never made him money…. Well this dream was obviously an expression of my self doubt as well as my fears of what some people think- i say f*** them!
