a small part of an illustration i’m working on for uni, still not sure about these colours lol

I was at a party- so naturally there came a time for me to find a spot to hide and draw. @davethewizard found me hanging with the guinea pigs. He asked me to draw him. I told him I already was. So this is my official portrait of Dave von Wizard.

The Hive is on a short break so I might to something radical- draw clothed people!
I can’t believe the pose I had the most trouble with was a front on standing pose. The muscle tone really threw me off.

Mr Bones is such a patient model. Skull study working with subtraction in charcoal.

Who completely underestimated the time and skill required for rendering in pastels? It’s ya girl- Xaos.
Work from the Hive lifedrawing this week. Going to have to practice with inanimate objects before I try to render people again.

Study two from the paintings exploring working from life vs from a photo. This is Little Foot the rat as they are now. Skulls have such beautiful sculptural forms. Painted with the same base paints as the first work, just in opposite proportions.

Had a pretty hectic session at the Hive this week. I was lucky to get any decent sketches out of it. The model was a real champ!

Sweet Dreams-
Painted from a photo of a rat who’s passed away. Exploring the idea that paintings from life are more “alive” even when the subject is deceased.

Had my head stuck in an assignment this week. Check these paintings from this time last year. Playing with warping perspective, colour and pattern.

Last year I posted about paintings I was working on, but never showed the results. An abstracted architectural painting, followed by hand painted and deconstructed versions of the same scene.

Part 1 of 2 from the Hive this week.
Family crisis, holiday exhaustion and depression naps have been getting in the way of my creativity but I feel like this was a good session.
I should bone up (har har) on my skeletal anatomy…

More microbit fun!
My Smoke On The Water machine- that could definitely be gayer.
And a light sensor + fan + paper loop-thing.

Someone thought it was a good idea to give vis art students electronics.
My first machine failed due to an insufficiently powerful motor and (surprisingly) not because the tilt axis is a candy cane.

Life drawing at the Hive is back!
Something, something International Womens Day!
