Artistic Abilities: App Collage

Artistic Abilities: App Collage

This week I drew a collage of all my favorite apps. I thought of this idea in class and I liked how I imagined it. It took me a while to place everything how I wanted and then I started to add the details and draw the apps. I had to redraw this picture about 4 times because I didn't like how it turned out. I then went over the apps in a black sharpie and thin black marker. I used colored pencils for the colors. I started at one app and worked my way around. After a few times of having to retrace it because I didn't like it, I finally got it the way I liked it. For this picture I wanted the apps to pop so I had to color hard and make the colors dark so it stands out. The apps I used it this picture were:

• Instagram
• Twitter
• Snapchat
• Spotify
• Youtube
• Netflix
• Facebook
• Tumblr
• We Heart It

I really liked the final outcome and I enjoyed drawing and coloring this picture. My favorite type if pictures to draw are colorful and eye catching pictures.

This is the final product of the drawing. Don't Forget to add your signature at the top.

Artistic Abilities: Youtuber Drawing #2

Artistic Abilities: Youtuber Drawing #2

This week I drew a picture of another youtuber named, Andrea Russett. The materials I used were my drawing book and pencil. I drew this picture looking at a selfie she posted on her instagram. I didn't draw her mouth or nose because I didn't like how it looked. For starters, I began to draw her head shape. I then shaped out her hair and made it look nice. After that I began to draw her eyes and put in her eyebrows. Once, I got the eyes centered and even, I began to add the details in her eyes and make them look realistic.  I then began to draw in her shirt. I added all the details to her clothes and added details to her hair. After, I checked if the hair was perfect. Then I checked if the clothes and eyes were good. Last but not least, I checked the whole picture again to see if I should add anything. 

This is the final product. Once I was all done I wrote her name on the top. Don't forget to sign your name!

Artistic Abilities: Oil Toucan

Artistic Abilities: Oil Toucan

This week I drew a Toucan at my art class. I did this picture in acrylic paint and then switched to Oil. I started off by taking the example picture out and then went ahead and sketched the Toucan and then I transferred my sketch to a canvas. I then took out my acrylics and did the background and the body. I then took out the oil paints and did the details, the background, and the body. This process took me about 2-3 months. Oil paintings take a while to dry so I had another picture I was working on in between. I corrected everything, fixed some details, and made everything perfect. This picture is a realistic painting so I had to paint in feathers and extra detail to make it as real as it can. This was my first time doing a realistic painting and oil painting so it was difficult at first, but at the end I got used to it and now I like oil paintings.

 This is the finished picture.
