Mar12 Pencil & Pixels

Today i made some pixel icons for the websites you can find me on such as deviantart, twitter, formspring, youtube and model mayhem. I think there cute and look better than just links. I need to make one more to make them even in the sidebar but i don’t really have another website to put there, yes im picky and like things to be even, lol!

My TAFE course is going well, i really love it. The other week we did some tonal scales (one end is black and the other is white, then you have to put in all the tones in between so its a gradient) in three different mediums, pencil, charcoal and gouache. That was preparation for the black and white portrait we are drawing. The portrait is split into four sections horizontally and each section is done in a different medium and we have to make all the tones in each medium the same. The other day i started the portrait and i finished the pencil section as seen below. I like the result, but im kind of scared ill mess it up with the other mediums. It is good practice though, ill keep you updated every week when i do more.

Jan06 Happy New Year

Its that time of year again! Christmas and New Years have both passed us already and were in the year 2010. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years! Mine were both good, although i did nothing special for new years it was alright. I know i haven’t posted in awhile so i thought i should. I get into stages where i just don’t do any art, i get totally uninspired. But then i can get right back into it again! its kinda weird, and very annoying. Im in the ‘not doing any art’ stage right now.

I watched the movie Avatar the other week, and although the story line was very predictable i really liked the movie. Visually it was stunning and very inspiring to me, i want to be able to create art that beautiful! I would also like to be one of the Na’vi and live on Pandora with them, thats why i decided to open photoshop and make myself look like one of them ^_^ i only did a rough job on a low quality image but you get the picture, i might try again with a better photo.
