Poster Assignment

First out of class project for Sketching class. Week 3 Due date.

We were given the guidelines to make three abstract watercolour blobs.
One Warm colours,
One Cool colours,
And One Mix colours.

This is a REALLY fun project, I was working on this for 4 hours. Not because I couldn't figure out what to do, or because I'm slow at painting.
I just REALLY loved this project!
I kept changing faces, and position and sizes of the watercolour backgrounds.
That's why I have 2 warm colour posters, because I couldn't decide which one to do.

So this first one is the first warm poster:



This was the first warm coloured one that I did, but after finishing the cool and mix ones, I didn't like this one as much...It makes me think of Breakfast At Tiffany's...

Second poster I finished was the cool colour poster:



This one is my favorite, design wise and because blue and green are my FAVORITE colours!

And the last poster was the mix of warm and cool colours:



I really enjoyed this one, VERY colourful :) It makes me think of robots, a sexy robot!

This is the warm poster that I redid since I didn't like the last one, and I still don't like it...I'll try again if I have time, I'll find something interesting...



That's it for today! 'Till next time bloggers! Hope you enjoy these posters!
Remember, larger posts can be seen here on Photobucket.

WHOOPS!

I forgot to add the watercolour splashes that I used for the posters.
Here they are :)

Watercolour Practice

This was Sketching class, week 2.

We were just to practice with some watercolours to get used to them again. I had recently used watercolour for a gift for my great grandmother, so I was more than happy to use my watercolours again. We had three objects to paint in roughly 5-10 minutes.

This first was a paintball helmet. Our teacher likes to play paintball, and I have to say, the helmets look really badass.
I like the glass of the helmet, and the overall look of it. I'm not too pleased with the details. If only I could've used pencil crayons on it when it dried. And If I had more time...



Second was a Sentinel from The Matrix series. This one is my favorite of the three paintings. I focused more on the head so I could give it some character. Not too happy with the arms though. (There were a MILLION of them) So I decided to go for a faint, abstract approach to the legs.




And last but not least was an alien...thing. I heard someone mention that it's from Starship Troopers? It was cool looking nevertheless. I liked using all the green/yellow/and black for this painting.



That's all for today bloggers. Larger images can be seen here on Photobucket

Bunny Assignment

This is a bunny that I had to draw the first day of Sketching For Communications Class. (I'm going to call it Sketching for short from now on)

This is the original that I did in 10 min with just a pencil.



And this is the cleaned up one that I did, just to brush up on my Photoshop skills. Just a pen and a brush tool, nothing too fancy.
