Portraits

Portraits is the topic i was working on for these drawings.
Having already worked on portraits before i didn't really feel that enstranged to working on it again. The eyes above and below took me 7 hours to do and the one below took me 5 hours. Each of these portraits were done in a HB pencil.

The Last Supper

The Last Supper was a topic we were set and it could be based on anything to do with the topic, for instance, we could base it on religion, plates or even food itself but i chose to base it on fruit.
This piece is called 'The Strawberry, The Banana and The Grape'.
It is a collage i did based on a photo i took of some fruit i arranged. It is A6 in size and took me 15 hours to complete.

Below is another photo of it so you can see all the layers.


With this project, we had to chose out own topic so i chose graphics as i don't do much of that and i felt like a challenge. For the graphics section we had to create a poster and 2 business cards based on 'The Last Supper'. I created this lollipop as a study and left it as that because i couldn't figure out how to make a business card to match without making it look exactly the same.


Then i came up with the idea of using a dragon fruit because that colour pink is very intriguing!

And i came up with this as my final piece. I was inspired by vector art and the works of Lawrence Zeegen.


Notice how i used the white on black dots for the back of the business card? That's what the inside of a dragon fruit looks like [for those who didn't know] ...i say it looks like frog spawn!

Dreams

Dreams was the title for this project. It didn't have to be a dream that you dreamt, so i just thought up this surreal image... I call it a Plamingo!
I tried to think of 2 animals that are both distinctive in their own way but similar. Well, a flamingo and a peacock are similar because they're both birds and they are both distinctive by ones beak and ones feathers. So by combining it together i would have a very dream like surreal image!

But, being as my imagination isn't very clear i didn't know exactly where i was going with it, it didn't get finished.. i dont think it ever will because i am having fears of ruining it.

Photography

Photography was one of the topics they wanted us to focus on for a holiday sketch book so i went around taking pictures of things... The photo above is called 'Clouds'.

The photo above is called 'Mistake'. I was going to bin it but i saw it on the windowsill and thought it looked interesting! :D

The photo above is called 'Diamond'.

Th photo above is called 'Building'.

The photo above is called 'Somewhat Crumpled'. I saw it in the garden and liked the way its petals looked like screwed up paper.

The photo above is called 'Take Control'. It's a ladybird. :)

The photo above is called 'Love Coco Pops'. I found a heart shaped coco pop in my bowl!

The photo above is called 'Swerve'.

The photo above is called 'Slumber'.

Typography

Typography was also a topic we had to include in out holiday sketchbook. Filling a page full of research as to help me understand what types of typography there are, i managed to create this piece of Lauryn Hill above after 22 hours. It reads 'Lauryn Hill is Classic!'.

I used a different type of typography to create 'Humpty Dumpty' above. He is made up of letters and numbers and took me 5 hours to complete. Both images were done in Photoshop.

Retouching

Retouching was actually quite fun! This is Slimone and she is the result of a retouching topic i once covered in college over the 2008 6 weeks holiday. Retouching Simone took me 13 hours to do! As for the hair.. well she had a weird hair style to start with so excusees for that bit not looking quite right!

Well now you've seen the result, here's the link to the original:
