I’ve not submitted anything for Illustration Friday so it’s been quite nice to do something fun!
Packing is slowly coming along… flat looks like a right bomb sight as well. Not long to go now, only two weeks until we move out! OMG.
I think my work is taking on a slightly different direction. I’m slowly getting back into line drawing again, which is ace, although I miss making collages. It seems to be a natural progression for an artist to develop their own style, interests and ideas- even if it means making some changes which I guess is healthy. Looking back at my work over the past few months, it’s a lot more refined and controlled. Although I keep on telling myself to draw more people and random objects just to expand my portfolio a bit more…or even dabble in a bit of typography.
What do you folks think? I’d love to hear about your thoughts and opinions!
I love it when you create something one thing will lead to another. I used my original drawings and turned them into this:
The Greenhouse
Then, I had another idea and did this:
The Greenhouse at Night
Boom!
Sketches
Sketches
Greenhouse
I don’t get the time to do any personal work, due to my full-time job, so it’s been pretty sweet to spend a bit of time developing some ideas. I’ve spent the afternoon doing some sketches based on an open garden tour I went on a couple of weeks ago (I’ll blog about it soon!)
I’ve been experimenting with mark-making by applying different pens and colour pencils over each other. I think I need to draw more still life objects in order to expand my portfolio i.e. I can draw other things apart from cute animals.
What do you think? I’d love to hear your feedback.
Here’s my illustration for Amelia’s Magazine. The article was about STACK Magazine, a suscription service where you get an assortment of independent magazines through the post.
