Even When You Paint, You Never Stop Drawing!

The essence of drawing is the line exploring space

This is my modernmasters design idea

There are no Rules...Only Tools!!

Printing

For some of my projects I have produced a few prints which has gained my experience using a different media and using different materials to create a unique and original design or drawing. The image above is a print I produced called, Dry point. This process includes drawing directly on a metal plate with a steel needle, creating a furrow and a rough burr which holds the ink and gives the printed line a velvety quality, as you can see from my print above.

Be Daring...Be Different!!

I am currently taking part in life drawing sessions within college to help gain my drawing skills further. So far I am finding these sessions very valuable as they have hugely built up my confidence in drawing and with this experience, already my drawing proportions have vastly improved.

My first thought to this life drawing session was like, ARRRRHHHHHH!!!!! However when i set my mind to it, composed myself, had my drawing materials at the ready...I kind of got into the flow of things.... and actually appreciated the overall session. 

Classy And Fabulous...

Renie...
This is another fashion illustrator I particularly like the style of. With the use of watercolour paints and pencil line drawing, I love the technique renie uses to create this classy and glamorous effect as shown in her fashion illustrations. 

Fashion illustration

Jason Brooks

As part of my Modern Masters project I have looked at several fashion illustrators to give me inspiration for when designing my own fashion drawings and how I go about it. During the fashion illustration powerpoint in class we looked at the materials and mark making methods the fashion illustrators use, the techniques being used and discussed how they differ from one another.

One particular illustrator I came across was Jason Brooks whos work I absolutley loved due to his glamorous technique and detail injected in his drawings, as shown in these two images.

This was a quick fashion illustration I drew inspired by the illustrations and technique of Jason Brooks. Now considering Brooks' work is in a totally different league to my humble quick sketch, I like to believe "that every artist was first an amateur".

Classic With A Twist...

Modern Masters

Adele Bloch-Bauer I

Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism—nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil.

This is my chosen art masterpiece for my current project modern masterpieces. I Hope to ecreate this work by Gustav Klimt by modernising it yet keeping the certain mood and certain elements of the art piece.

Behind The Lens...

Here are some Photo-shoot images of my staircase inspired dress which I made for my shape and structure project. 

Blood alone moves the wheels of history...
