Birds & Elephants

This week I invited some friends for an 'art project'. We would make something big together, like a short movie, a magazine, etc. On the first day we worked pretty serious on a collage-idea we had. I've got some pictures of that too, but they're on a camera that's on the other side of the country right now so I'll post these later (: Wich means...probably within a month?

Anyway, the next day we started making 10-minutes drawings in our dummies and well, we just didn't stop doing that so the art-project-idea failed miserably :P But we did make a lot of sketches! :D

Here is my birds-and-elephants series, and I'll post some more sketches in the coming days.

About painting II

After that first lesson, we've had about 6 lessons in which we painted each other in about 20-30 minutes. These are some results, and I think I've really made some progress with painting this year (:

And this is what my corridor looked liked after photographing in the bathroom:

About painting

I'm done with school for this year now, so I thought, let's write something about the painting lessons I've had this semester. It's not like I attended to a painting class (it wasn't really my favourite thing to do); the subject was actually called 'free assignment' and in class we did some painting lessons once in a while.

The painting adventure started with the assignment: for next week, make 10 paintings of 20 minutes each, based on your interests, or on previous work you made.
I can promise you it was a hell lot of work.

I made many paintings that sucked.

But some of them turned out pretty okay. (I have to mention that this is the best painting of the series, if you forget about the hands :P)

From my sketchbook #2

I have to mention that I painted this from another painting, it's just for practice (: It actually doesn't look much like the original painting...but the subject and the colours are about the same.

Graphic Novel

I'm making the worst shit ever while trying to work with gouache.
