Colour...

I've been watching LFW on lfw.tv all weekend and doodling things I liked during.
(mainly due to the fact I am sick to death of my project and wanted to actually enjoy drawing again...)
This is another stick and ink job- (I seem to work better with the pressure of knowing that one wrong line and I've fucked the whole thing up).
I then got bored again... took a picture (It's A3 and my scanner is only A4) and attempted my first time at colouring on PS.
I didn't really vary the colours just played with opacity, and I'm not good with tone or colour at all so it's quite messy. But I think I like the "painterly" effect.
I might opt for PS colouring in the future. This took about 15 minutes to do and I think if I invested more time as I get more confident with it the results will look much more professional and finished (also means I don't have to buy paints....)

Win Win.

Shame this is completely irrelevant to my project...

Looking at Ancient...

Greek art and their composition, I noticed that most of the imagery was combined with shapes. Using this as an influence:
I decided to create a fashion illustration interpreting Vena Cava ready to wear ( a certain outfit that caught my eye... desperately seeking a toned stomach so I can wear crop tops all summer long)
I drew the whole thing in biro, no pencil!!!, scanned it (for some reason it came out a lot darker, grey almost even though the paper was white??! but I think I prefer it like this?) and used the dodge tool to add highlights.
Haven't done anything else to it yet but I may neaten it up a bit more?
I'm really lacking behind on this project though so I can't really dedicate too much of my time to this :/
 The whole thing isn't in proportion, but I wasn't aiming for something too accurate.


It was within a circle but I drew in on A3 and scanned on an A4 scanner (so it got cut off)

ACTIVE



Snapshots of some work I've been doing. This is just all from my research. HATE THIS PROJECT.I have no motivation/dedication/interest. My work is shoddy.
