Collage and Reductions

An A4 collage and 3 A5 reductions from it. This was work for an art class i was attending that ended in January. Youre definately gonna need a closer look to see which parts make up these compositions in the collage.

I used mixed media as was the object of the project:

Colour pencils on the tentacle one, ink and wash on the ribs and breast and lightning bolts one, then just tonal pencil on the japanese type one.

I will upload the final composition tomorrow which is the skull and tentacle one in A4 utilising all 3 mediums.

Still Life - Lemon Slice

 

A bolder approach to still life yet the tone in line is nonexistant here which gives a somewhat "comic" and flat effect. Still overall not too bad, at the very least its bolder.

Still Life - Lemon

Terribly light touch on this one, its barely visible. Its all a learning curve and seeing stuff that i once thought was good turn bad is a sure sign of progress.

Still Life - Banana

 

Two halves of the same banana. I like how the bottom half came out. However, still suffering from my light touch complex.

Still Life - Tangerine

 

Its exactly what it looks like.

Not my best.

Still Life - Apple

 

This one kinda speaks for itself. I had a little bit of a light touch while i was starting out on these still-life pictures, tonal balance is an ongoing battle.

Still Life - Walnut

 

This is a walnut... lol. The first of many still life pictures i used as practice for shape and shading. I learned a great deal from drawing these upcoming images and hopefully a gradual improvement is evident too.

Octopuss + Anchor

 

More tattoo flash from the net, DeviantArt to be exact. They have some great art on there so go have a look around. My poetry account is there too at link so check that out if you feel inclined.

Pencil, colour pencil and pen.

This one started a little obsession with tentacles for me but who doesn't have a thing for tentacles right??

Rose

Well well well, this looks more recent! Did this last year sometime whilst going through a tattoo drawing phase. This is the beginning of my ongoing effort to "draw good an stuff".

Pen and colour pencil, derwent ones usually.
