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.

Castle 3D

Castle 3D (8 cm x 17 cm)

In response to creating 3D typography I used paper to cut out complex templates which I then folded and glued carefully together to create 3D standing letters with brick like patterns. they make the word CASTLE which I have shown in a photograph I have taken.

Germany (A3)

Travel (A4)

Castles (A4)

Gears (A4)

Landmarks and Castles (A3)

These are some typography of words relating to a holiday in Germany. As shown some are based on stones or bricks used to make buildings (e.g. castles), one is drawn is drawn to look like an actual castle and another looks like roads. Some are influenced by the styles of other artists such as Si Scott, Clemens Posch and Peter Verkuilen. I have then continued to create coloured versions of these.

Awesome Animals

Awesome Trio (A3)

Awesome Squirrels (A3)

As shown I have coloured in some of the drawings I did based on Eiichiro Oda's style. I had time to add shadow to some of them to give more detail.

A Squirrel's Tale

A Squirrel's Tale (22 cm x 20 cm)

For this book cover I first made pencil drawings of squirrels in the style of Beatrix Potter. I then created multiple titles of "A Squirrel's Tale" to find an appropriate one.

To create the front cover I scanned the drawing of the two squirrel brothers and uploaded it into Photoshop to colour them, to add a background and to add my final title. I tried a variety of colour combinations and chose an appropriate one.

I used the final front cover to show what the book might look like by copying and pasting an image of a book into Photoshop and placing the front cover on it.
