juxtaposition

 

These are some sketches based on juxtaposition. I liked the idea of mixing together objects that would not typically go together in reality. It adds an element of comedy that makes the illustration feel unique. 

This type of method helped me see illustration in a different way. Now I feel inspired to use this method in the future.

The Peacock and the Blue Jay

This is a colored pencil drawing I did of a blue jay on the left trying to be a peacock but the peacock on the right was not happy about the fake feathers. I used a colored pencil layering technique mentioned from the lecture with different colors stacked on one another to create vibrant colors. It was the first time I used this method so it was interesting to see how it came out. The variety of colors add to the piece. I will definitely use this method in the future.

 

Model

This is a portrait painting I did of a model with watercolor paints. I like painting portraits because of the way I can bring volume to the piece by using shades. I used a bunch of different black watercolor paints layered throughout the piece which I had not done before so it was a different outcome than what I used to get previously. I did this piece based off of the lectures about the different portraits I saw in different lectures but in my own style. I will definitely use the layered painting technique in the future.

 

chiaroscuro puppy

The night was dark and stormy. Everything was soaked with water. The woods cannot even protect much of anything inside. A little puppy sits in the shed that is slightly intact in the forest. Sleeping, while awaiting the end of the storm.

This piece was fun to make. The china marker added this faded, gothic tone to the piece which added to the dark nature. This material made it even better for the chiaroscuro element in the piece. I liked learning about chiaroscuro method from our lectures that mentioned the method and different artists. An artist named Caravaggio inspired me within this method. I never used chiaroscuro with this material before so it was a different route for me but I think it came out well.
