✿ Week 8 - Sketching a realistic portrait ✿

-

    For this 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 was done on a sticky note, which surprisingly held nicely for watercolor as an art medium.

Thank you and enjoy~

"           -  Colbie Caillat, Realize, 2007.      The title of this piece is called "Real eyes realize real lies." It is a Dreamscape themed photography, where there is an interaction of reality and fantasy. Due to this, major photo editing was done. The title and the photo were inspired by the song "Realize" by Colbie Caillat that was released in 2007. People say that the eyes are the windows of the hum...

✿ Week 9 - Human Figure Anatomy ✿

      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 normall...
