Baby girl.

Biro drawing of a little girl for my project work so far. I'm still undecided as to what I exactly want to do for my project. But I know it's something to do with portraits and expressions. 

Studio.

My wall in my studio at uni's looking quite good so far. I'm so glad I finally get to do portraits and drawings that I honestly want to do. No more of this 'the examiner needs to see this' bullshit. 

Juan Francisco Casas.

Juan’s art works go one of two ways. Firstly giving a lighthearted impression, with silly facial expressions and an interaction with the viewer that would suggest that the individuals are doing more than ‘posing for pretty pictures’. And secondly taking a more erotic feel, showing intimate scenes between two people that wouldn’t often be seen outside of the bedroom. These pieces capture women as more of an object than of a person and as a result of this the viewer is immediately in a role of power when exploring the work. The tone and depth to the drawings along with the detail added gives them a photorealistic feel. Because the subjects aren’t static, and their expressions aren’t set up or asked for the energy in the works is more apparent, appealing to the viewers more playful side of seeing things.

Beyoncé.

Drawing of Beyoncé. This was potentially one of the most difficult portraits I've ever done because her face is so symmetrical that one slight mistake would throw the whole drawing off. Needless to say I wound myself up over this drawing numerous times. Any how this is the outcome.

Street art.

Manchester has such brilliant graffiti. You certainly have to go looking for it a bit. But what you find is well worth the hunt. I always feel excited and a little inspired when I see a piece, which I believe is exactly what street art should do. 

Gas mask reindeer.

This is what happens when it gets late at night and I find some pens and a note pad. I wanted to create something with a slightly creepy feel to it. And what better way to do that than including a gas mask. I'm unsure whether I've finished this yet or if it needs a few things adding. But either way I like what's been produced. 

Pandora's box.

Box of treasures. This took me a while to produce as it uses plaster and latex to create the moulds. I was studying human anatomy in my art work at the time. If you scroll further down you can see a skull I created using plaster. This is in the same line of work as that piece. I intend to revisit this style of work shortly in my university work as I greatly enjoyed producing it.

Jaw study.

Study on the roof of a jaw. I found this unusually therapeutic to draw. Especially getting to add in the finer detail and highlights.

Graffiti.

Manchester has an awful lot of interesting graffiti, I think every time I find some I'm going to take a picture of it and make a series from the photographs or even better maybe get it made into a book. I love street art. There's always something so different and fresh about it. 

Jiffy bag.

Now we got given a project over summer which had to relate to a 'jiffy bag'. I had no idea where to start. Naturally I wanted to respond to it through drawing as this is where I'm most comfortable and feel I excell the furthest.

Long story short, the astronaut relates to the space inside the envelope.

The bird relates to the travel aspect of the envelope. All in all it's a simple concept, but I liked the way it turned out.

Nice tits.

Someone I met in the first few weeks of uni asked me to do her a drawing for her bedroom wall. Well obviously there's nothing better than coming home to a nice pair of tits.

Smoking hot.

I found her face and expression a bit too interesting not to draw. Her eyes are sexy yet she still has a dangerous look about her. I find this drawing attractive to say the least. 

Suffocated dolls

So far for my project, I'm making small suffocated dolls with swatstika's on their chests. However it's not what you think. This has nothing to do with making them into nazi's!

Bird illustration

I really do need to finish this illustration off! I've had it going for at least 4 months and I've been sidetracked. I think the end of next week, my attention will go on finishing this off!

Coffee.

Coffee when mixing with milk is like it's own mini storm, quite incredible really, it's like a cloud that's just about to start pouring with rain. Storm in a cup.

Skull.

I'm still unsure what to do with this piece. It has another skull next to it, with different cultural designs on it. Do I split them up, do I keep them as a pair? I may even make a series of them. Either way I know for a fact, that this is one of the most important piece of art, I've ever made. I don't think they'll ever come a day when I'm not proud of it.

watercolour tears.
