charcoal

Its not my 1st time using charcoal. previously, I played with it curiousity wise. never thought that I would need to use pastel to enhance the lightings. well, i'm going to post it up soon.. all my previous drawings b4 year 2000. Its a fun and messy medium to toy with...lol

Learning how to highlights the light and shadows of objects.

dealing with perspective. We were charcoaling at a cafe below our campus.

Right after my perspective above, I started sketching my classmate and lecturer with charcoal. my other classmates were still working on them.

the same mannequin used for drapery. this time, he is dress like cesear.. lol

Homework again.. well, you can see all the objects are which you can find at any house...

we were required to sketch using a picture as a reference.. so I got tis out of the internet.. its a small picture for a reference.. but I did fairly well on this one.... hopefully...

Life Drawings : learning objects

Well, its my 1st sem life drawing classes and well, I have not been sketching since the crisis I had in the year 2000 - 2006. Totally wasted my life and skills. Well, you know what they say, its never too late to learn.. again and the most important value I have is "never give up!! what if you fall? stand up and walk again. keep on doing it till you can run"

so here I am, back in college and learning from the scratch....

my 1st drawings in class after numerous years of not sketching. the lecturer requires us to use contour drawing techniques.

and indepth sketch compared to the one above with added details on shadows and lightings.

2nd sketch. we were taught on composition on this one.

an indepth of the one above.

light and shadow on objects. all forms are the construction of basic objects. master this and you will have no worries in sketching anything.

homework ?? yeah, I have to dig out all the objects I can find.

2nd homework.. you can see my perspective was out.. well, we have not touch on perspective then... lol

drapery, the technique most comic artist has yet to master...

drapery.. we haf a life model here.. lol.. wish I was overseas.. :P my classmate : doko, indon

a mannequin with cloth, my lecturer compose this one out just for us to learn drapery. and its absolutely a hideous work as the cloth was in blackish blue with furry texture.. :(

Paintings for Visual Communication Design

Well, honestly speaking, This is the very 1st time I work so much with water color. I used to hate water color because, well, during my school life, the teacher never go in-depth to teach you properly on how to fully utilize the medium. So I hated water color up till now. Actually, I have a phobia in using em. lol. At least, during my 1st sem in Go Academy, the lecturer actually taught us how to manipulate the medium... here are the results...

1st black n white paintings. the lecturer gave us a color picture out of a magazine and asked us to convert it to a grayscale pic. We are to learn bout light and shadow.

Pixelations.. its harmful to the eyes.lol. anyways, I've captured the progress with my camera but only posted a few just to save space.

Halfway through the pixelations. took me a couple of hrs just to get em done. well, a whole day cause I got tired now and then and rested. :P

left : final outcome (NEW) | right : previous unfinished spoil project
well, the 1 on the right was done b4 chinese new year and it was totally destroyed due to untidyness so i decided to start on a new one

2nd pixelation project. took me less hrs to work on it. but I totally hate to mix gold color.

Final VCD project.. we are to paint food. didn't do a great job cause there r still lots for me to learn bout painting with water color. took me less hrs to paint tis one compared to the pixelations. :P
