Unreals A2 Level & Art Foundation Artwork (LOTS of pics)

[unreal]

In reference to this post; http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=60990

I have now got more work I will this time keep sketchbook/larger work in a different thread since it's been some years since I last posted my art up here so I can avoid obliterating this thread with too many images. Just to keep in mind on my lil bio, I'm a 19 yr old art student and I'm going here next month so I've now made this my main thing. I still don't do art outside of school though as free time is where I chase up my music hobby .



Before I start, I must say that some of the drawings/paintings contain nudity and I know the board says no profanity or nudity but I assume that relates more directly to photography. Photobucket has resized all the images to 800x600 which I assume is the best balance between image quality and OMG THE IMAGES ARE TAKING OVER MY PAGE. =D




Also if you would like any of the pictures, I would be glad to sell them for what you think they're worth... I still have to finish paying for the rest of my laptop for Uni after all ;_;
















Now lets go;


Life drawing where we had to be a bit creative with colours



We made these huge paper structure thingys then we had to paint them with ink :/



Quick ink & brush life painting



Life drawing of a... curvier... woman



Quick life drawing



Same woman posed twice for the same picture... I wanted a really moody dripping tone with this which was quite fun to do, water and ink everywhere



Another ink life drawing



I didn't really like this one



I made this for a musician but he's busy at the mo so I can't send it to him :,<



Face of Keri Hilson, stencil spray



HOLY CRAP IT'S JESUS lol



One of my fav spraypaints, I just love the style of the drips...



Purely a test but thought I would take a pic anyway



Test out of an overspray on the Jesus stencil



Overspray test on a Keri Hilson stencil



Test of sprays of ink



Jesus stencil, looks quite cool if you have black/white paper backing

[unreal]

Practise element to see if we understood the dynamics of what we were drawing



From AS Level but not quite sure if I posted it...



Life drawing with excessive lines and edges



One of my exam prep pieces, goddamn that car is so beautiful



Unfinished biro-pen drawing of some bottles, cloth, against a mirror etc.



Drawing I made in my own style of a plant with a felt pen. Originally we were supposed to do a two tone drawing of some sort of plants but I ended up doing this style and the teacher was happy with it so off I went lol



Black to white printing



Black red and blue print... the whole print represents "Poison The Sea, Poison Me", which was a class project to make a print that highlights how the corruption of the oceans via waste not only damages sea life but also will come back to hurt us. I had a couple of cool ideas, the best one I had was this giant hand coming out of the ocean drasping a fish to death in its clasp... but I didn't finish it ;_;



Quick random thing I did of me, just a random idea



I reckon this is really nasty, but its a diluted marker pen drawing (yes, diluted markers, you draw with those fat markers and get a wet brush and you know the rest <_<) of some sort of feather



Another version of that work for the artist



Since Timbaland is one of the most "rebellious" and inginuitive musicians of his genre, I thought it would be quite a clever idea playing with the infamous image of Che Guevara and Timbaland into one...



Strange project we had to do, it was like a life drawing that was a big picture on a building so that's what I attempted to make....



Mixed media that went terribly wrong



Charcoal drawing of a nude woman who had a lot of lights and shadows on her, it was really difficult to depict what I saw in that medium



Life drawing of a woman wrapped in cloth



Simple life drawing



Ink life painting thing



This was a result of loads of different movement works we did in sketchbooks and things stuffed into one



Side of a building painted in the most unexpected colours

[unreal]

Had to make a pretend poster for Kew Gardens, I saw a close up picture of some flower and played around with the colours and dynamics of the original to paint this



This was another plant thing we did, I used oil pastels for this



My photoshop page of my portfolio



My photography page of the portfolio



Black print of the Poison Me, Poison the sea thing



My favourite print of the same press thingy



Quick playabout I did of my face



This was for a little project based around fears/phobias, and my biggest fear is heights so I tried to make a piece showing that as much as I could.



Painting in erratic colours



Unfinished drawing of a still life set



First piece I did on my art foundation course, simple drawing



Expressive painting involving black and white paints only



Charcoal and chalk drawing, don't really like using those materials at all since they're so dry and dusty :x



Surreal piece where we had to combine loads of objects from the still life scene together



Life drawing of a womans face that went horribly wrong



One of my various stencil pieces, looked quite cool after loads of paint settled on the back of it.



Keri stencil front



Back of the Keri stencil




Thanks all for your time, all comments are welcome! I'll have a seperate thread up soon with my larger work pieces (such as the one I used in my sig) and sketchbook work

no worries about the nudity in this thread. Seen....appreciated the class act.

Favourite?

[Zak33]

simply rocks

[Zak33]

now pls bear in mind I can't draw a bum on a wall.....so I'm prolly wrong....and pls dont be offended....but it's a personal thought:


bores me silly. It's like a 1980's art O level study.

The rest are SO superiorit hurts.

[Zak33]

when....


THAT intrigues me and makes me smile

[unreal]

Ha thanks much dude! Glad you can see the nude element in these pieces are appreciated


@ the other pictures, I so agree... I mean the pen drawing is more of a showcase of technical skill but its something else to try and prowess all your creative talent in artistic skills... far more difficult to do. I've learnt how important that is now, infact.

[Zak33]

and THIS


didn't go wrong at all...it's simply....as it is

[unreal]

Really, you think? Thanks a lot! I mean I thought it became a bit too random and the colours I used were quite mismatched and ugly... but I guess that's because I prefer a lot of exotic and powerful colours >: D

[Zak33]

scarily reminds me of Salvador Dali, though with less dripping phalus'

The horses intrigued me and pulled my eyes....I saw the flower under his stare last.

After your album, (which I play weekly in my car) I'm more and more impressed.

Dunno which way you're going....but it'll be good.

[Zak33]

Have you tried that one again? To make it right, I mean. Cos it's nearly right but the jowls kill it, and the eyes are a fraction too large...and I think too perfect.

[Funkstar]

Fantastic work there

Loads of variety. I think the stencil ones are the most appealing to me, although some of those nudes are really good too. The second one you posted fr example.

[unreal]

Thanks much dude, haha glad to hear you still enjoy the CD, I'm doing my best to progress much further since its release and I'm now working with major artists and labels so I hope the world gets to hear me soon :3

I was thinking about it yeah, but it was from a life model (yep, she was nude and that old) but yeah those are the two significant faults which almost make it unbearable for me to look at, her eyes are way too large. I think I was thrown off due to the size of the paper, the size of what I was drawing, the speed of which I was drawing it at, and the angle that I was drawing. Tends to often happen that dynamics become thrown off if I am unaware and don't concentrate on the dynamics throughout

I don't think I will have another thrash at that one though I'm studying Illustration this year and I have a whole new world of art to learn which I'm really excited about so I gotta concentrate on that


EDIT: And thanks much Funkstar, stencilling is something I adopted very late into my course but I took a HUGE love into it. Banksy is now my idol

[Nick Smith]

Right...

Not actually sure where to begin, but all of these totally rock!



That is just plain awesome imo.


And below, that is cool!



I also really like the phobia one you did aswell.

Keep it up, and good luck at uni aswell.


Also looking forward to hearing some new mixes if/when you get round to it.

I understand what you say but I probably appreciate the 2 detailed real life observations the most, takes me back to my GCSE art classes found this sort of thing very hard to do myself - nice work.

I think you killed my cable connection or may be you just throttled it for today - but worth it.
