Freehand Drawings

Coyote (16 cm x 16 cm)

Squirrel (16 cm x 13 cm)

These are realistic drawings of animals that I have drawn from photos that I took on holiday in Yellowstone National Park, USA. These animals are a Squirrel and a Coyote.

David Foldvari style drawing

Nuremberg (A3)

This is my own version of David Foldvari's style. Some of his work consists of a group of images bunched together, drawn on with black pen and ink for drip trails. For mine I used a bunch of images I took when I went to Germany for a holiday and used Photoshop to get rid of the colour and create a collage with them. Only the black areas of the collage are visible to trace through onto A3 paper by using a light-box.

Collage

Neuschwanstein Castle (A3)

For this piece of word I used different coloured cards to cut into multiple shapes to create a castle from one of the photos I took when I went to Germany for a holiday. It's based on the style of an artist called Istvan Schritter who can produce and cut out amazing characters and scenery once stuck together from different coloured bits of card.

Squirrels & Coyote

Squirrels & Coyote (A3)

Squirrels & Coyote (A3)

For this I used my Beatrix Potter style drawing of the squirrel brothers and the coyote to produce a double page spread showing a scene where the coyote is following them in the dark of night. I used Photoshop to colour them in and create the shadow effect around the edges.

Icons

Icons (A4)

I have created icons symbolising the things I like about/doing in Art Graphics. They also relate to my manifesto. The first icon represents how I like to draw from my imagination, with a thought bubble and a drawing pencil. The second icon represents me thinking that imagination is a gift, with a thought bubble inside a present. The third icon represents how I like to share ideas with others, shown by thought bubbles with arrows going from one to the other. The fourth icon represents me preferring to work as efficiently as I can, shown with a robot drawing (i.e. robots are efficient). The last icon represents that I like to create, shown with God (the creator).

Manifesto

Manifesto (A4)

This is the manifesto I created describing how art graphics can show others how creative and imaginative you can be. I also talk about how we have the ability to imagine incredible creations we can only think of. To illustrate this I made a drawing of a person imagining what he could draw. I have then coloured them in on Photoshop.

German Theme



Neuschwanstein Castle (A4)



Frauenkirche, Nuremberg (A4)

For these pieces of work I used a style used by artists like Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Their work consists of a bunch of dots all placed together so that from a distance you can see the image they try to produce. With this I created my own modern versions by using Photoshop. I used images that I took when I went to Germany for a holiday, Neuschwanstein Castle and the Frauenkirche in Nuremberg.
