My Spiritual Albino Animal Series-Paintings in watercolour and Ink.

Yes it is a quick post this week, I'm just finishing up my application to Falmouth; wish me luck, I'm applying for the MA Illustration: Authorial Practice course and I am told, while it is an amazing course, it is a very popular one so I have to get my application in asap! 

So, short post this week, but still yummy! 

I thought I would share with you my Albino Animal series I created during December. I had a lot of fun with this one. There aren’t that many albino art works out there, and striving to be a little different, of course I chose to draw something to reconcile this. Where’s the love for the albinos people? 

After some research on albinos, the types of animals (which is all btw) can be albino and some reference studies, I got down to work. 

My first attempt was at an Albino Wale! Now I love wales at the best of times after going to Iceland and seeing the minke wale’s there. Beautiful creatures. 

My next subject, or animal was the moose. But of course it was, and unfortunately this moose looks a little more ‘dear’ like, but at Christmas times in December, I think people forgave me.

The third in the four piece series, is the Albino Buffalo. A Native American spiritual animal and very rare. Now this guy I liked a lot, though next time I might give him a herd, so he’s not so lonely. =p

And then there was one, but this one is my favourite. Albino Owl. Now I know he is a little intimidating, with those huge eyes, but I tell you I love him for that reason. 

This December I would love to do a few more albino animals to add to this collection. Then perhaps a comparison between styles would be an interesting post.

And how about you, do you have any suggestions on what animal I should draw? Don’t worry, we have a whole year near enough to decide. But please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts! I would love to hear them

Until next time my lovelies,

Live Drawings from 2016.

Yel’lo!

It’s Friday, and I’ve found out this is my Blog posting day! Technical terms are coming in here, be impressed…. Heeehh.

And today I have another video for you my dearies but also some close up pictures for you to, well, have a closer look at! And the topic today is live drawings!

I’ve been working hard on my human anatomy over the last year, and if you have joined me this month, or you have been recently reunited / introduced to my blog, you will know that I am posting what my art life was like through 2016. And today is no exception.

I have made a short video of myself talking and flipping through my sketchbooks, I’ve got some pictures and I am also going to post some helpful videos to help you get in that anatomy practice.

First here we go, my sketchbooks from 2016.

Hope the sound quality was ok for you guys? First time recording this way so let me know if all was clear for you! This way I can improve for next time and not make you want to tear out your hair because you can’t understand what it is I am saying. Teehee!

Next I have a little time laps of my drawing in said sketchbooks. Here perhaps you can see and understand a little better how I create my forms and capture gesture... I hope. =P 

A few more studies of different types

 

Negative and positive study

Rembrandt Study @ Kenwood House

Detailed study shadow & light

My last instalment will be a couple of Youtubers videos that I relied upon heavily last year. These guys are fantastic to draw along with and I learnt so much. If you are looking to improve your anatomy, check out Sycra and Draw with Chris on YouTube. Invaluable.

How to Draw the Male Torso.

So Seriously check these guys out! Go now! I'm finished anyway. :p

Until next week my lovies!

Favourite Drawings from 2016

Yes, HELO!

And I’m back and as promised another post similar to the last, this time I am showing you my favourite drawings I created from last year. 

These drawings and sketches were my attempt as an artist to try and figure out where my love and talents were.

Result? I LOVED IT ALL! So helpful right? (Don’t worry I’m seeking professional help) No but seriously, I found out last year that the more traditional the better suited my talents were. This led me to my live drawing classes; which will be presented in a later post, and these guys love the traditional mediums.

What do you guys think about me creating a video for the techniques I learnt? Would you be interested in my findings, or should I jump strait into a tutorial for sketching? Let me know what you think in the comments bellow, or hit me up via email, twitter or comment on one of the many social media links (to the right). Click whichever is most convenient for you!

Until next time my sweet cheeks,
