✿ Week 11 - Perspective Drawings ✿

Image
      Hello guys! Another day of me posting about our drawings for our Drawing lec/lab subject! This is the last one for now because our midterms are coming up soon. Anyways, for this week's drawing, it's all about P E R S P E C T I V E !      Like always, I've drawn a variety of samples to get myself immersed in the topic of this week. I also experimented using different kinds of medium while doing different kinds of perspective drawings. Below is my first attempt of drawing perspectives for this week, and as usual, I decided to color it to make it appear more lively. I used Dong-A Oil Pastels on Vellum board, and it has been a while since I have touched my Oil Pastels. It was messy drawing with it but in the end, it was fun and the colors are very vibrant, as you can see. I also tried the scraping technique where you get an object to scratch out some details, this works well if you lay out a light color over the canvas and put a darker color over it. You can see this tech

✿ Week 10 - Gesture Drawings ✿

Image
 Good day to you guys! Here are my drawings for different Gesture Drawings, following the lessons I've learned from this week's class under Drawing lecture and laboratory. I saw that we had to do Gesture drawings, so I decided to do 10 non-detailed ones, both male and female, and 10 more gesture drawings but with detail.      I definitely enjoyed this because I learned to be flexible and be more comfortable with drawing postures that I never would have practiced beforehand. I also learned to observe people's poses more and the details I see when I draw, though I learned that way earlier already, sometimes I don't grasp the information I have enough and nor do I attempt to fix them so it can be more accurate. Fixing mistakes is always good, but here in this activity, I had the option to fix them or leave them there due to the instructions of Gesture Drawing - it's okay to be messy .     In the end, I was able to adjust. I did a few drawings with detail that had been

✿ Week 10 - MMA - Multimedia Element - VIDEO (Tutorial) ✿

Image
     Hello everyone! It's me, Nina, here again to show you guys my new post for this week's activity in MMA. This week it's the Multimedia element of VIDEO, specifically, a tutorial.      It was quite fun to film this for it's my first time but I also had a hard time since I didn't know how to film using a screen recorder, plus I had to record my voice separately because my microphone had issues so my voice can't be understood. But because of this, I was able to expand my knowledge again! Here's the video now, please enjoy watching!     I used the VEIKK A50 Graphics Tablet that I bought from Shopee from their official store.       Here's the link to that in Lazada:  https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/veikk-official-store-veikk-a50-graphics-drawing-tablet-full-panel-digital-drawing-pad10-x-6-inch-large-work-area-with-8192-pressure-sensitivity-battery-free-passive-pen-and-1-artist-glove-i315002815-s641732957.html?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.10.7c987099dARJv3

✿ Week 9 - MMA Multimedia Elements - GRAPHICS ✿

Image
     Hello once again guys!       For this week, We were assigned to do a graphic design for any advocacy we wish. Obviously, since I am in the MMA course, I chose to do a graphic design that will help promote my course to other people, who would often wonder what MMA is for, what we do, or what its worth.            I reused an old drawing of mine and recolored it then added a few more designs and texts to make it seem more like a poster for an ad campaign of Multimedia arts. I used the application Paint Tool SAI version 2 to create this poster and voila~ It is done.     Next time any of you guys want to know more about MMA, feel free to approach me and my friends and classmates, as well as the teachers, to inquire about it. Don't be afraid to follow your dreams! Have a good day! 

✿ Week 9 - Human Figure Anatomy ✿

Image
      Hey guys! For our recent assignment, we were assigned to do some human anatomy studies so I went and draw a variety of drawings to practice more of the assignment.     In this first picture, I drew hands in different poses, one of which on the left side, is a big hand with a vision of the bones inside the hands. This was the most fun part of the assignment and was also the most enjoyment I had in it too. I really dislike drawing hands before but more recently, it expanded my knowledge about how to draw them more efficiently and less stiff.     The next drawing is the anatomy of females, where I used the reference in our teacher's Powerpoint presentation. Females anatomy basic measurement are about 7 and a half heads, so I measured the female using a ruler and a regular pencil first before drawing her entire body.     In the following drawing, are a few more half body poses of female anatomy that I practiced. One is standing normally, one with a twisted arms up pose, another s

✿ Week 8 - Sketching a realistic portrait ✿

Image
    For t his week's artwork, it is a realistic portrait of a person. In my work, I used a reference with the medium of Prismacolor premier pencils for the coloring and black acrylic paint for the simple background on a smooth Vellum board.  It was a fun activity to do for a change of style and a change of pace as there are no classes.      Here are different angles of the drawing under simple lighting to try to show off the details. Overall, I'm quite proud of this piece and had fun doing the coloring process and exercise the lessons I learned from the previous meetings.       Here are also a few more practices of portraits of my special person :> I used Koi watercolors and unipin pens (sized 0.1 and 0.05) here on my other sketchbook and practiced lighting. It was a blast to do since it was more of me, experimenting my coloring and my techniques on a medium that I haven't fully mastered so that was fun too! Plus, it was my special person after all :> The last work wa
