drawings so far...

these are some drawings that i've done so far for my own satisfaction. i've picked out my best (well i'm not going to show you my bad stuff!!!) except i didn't really know how to sort them or catergorise them cos they're so many... so yeah. they're in no order in particular.

alphonse mucha/and 1950's playboy style inspired. this is done with pen and ink. thats like when you dip a quill type thing into an inkpot, tedius yes... but i enjoyed it. it's harder to use, but the lines i feel have a better quality to them. the ink is better and the lines are thinner and more flowing.

this drawing is also alphonse mucha inspired. check it out- http://images.bestwebbuys.com/muze/books/76/0711225176.jpg. if youve got time look at more of his stuff. its really cool.

music is the language of us all. well sometimes it truely is! sometimes it says what words cannot express. these are cat empire lyrics. i tried to interpret music visually.

music is a great influence. i have a crush on bobby flynn (australian idol contestant, hehe) and he sang "when the war is over" by cold chisel. i had it stuck in my head all day!!! as for the letterboxes... we just have a whole heap of them at the start of our road, thought it'd look cool, haha.

same day- same song STILL stuck in my head. working with ink again, this was cool cos i could change the thickness of the lines depending on the angle and pressure i put on the pen. i could smudge it around too and that helpred create the messy sorta effect i was after.

on the contrary line can be very controlled. i obviously really like john lennon and i really wanted to capture this and capture him. my biggest regret was not doing ink drawings for my majors in year 12, but alas, ive got uni now to major in drawing!!

pop art kidna style. i had an idea surrounding this drawing tho this one was pretty quick during class, hehe. imagine a cramped kitchen with the perspective distorted and taterred cupboards and stuff. i should still do it one day, hehehe. let me know if ur kitchen is cramped and falling apart so i can come in and draw it!!!

this darwing i did after work experience in year 10, i went to the art gallery i thought it'd be good...it wasn't. i stuck stickers on pamphlets for a whole week and didn't even get payed! tho whilst i was sticking stickers on pamphlets all day i got to stare at a copy of picasso's "guernica" and the style kinda imprinted on me. this was what i came up with.

then i combined the two! hehehe

i like trees. i line the curves and the lines they make. i like to take fotos of cool trees too, but they're always so much better in real life. i'll show u some one day.

this drawing was very sensitively created. its funny, sometimes when you're so distracted by hate or love or saddness, thats when some of your most successful, heartfelt, passionate drawings come out and this drawing has deep meaning and symbolic significance to me. one of my favourites.

john again. i tried to paint this picture. didn't really work. oh well.

this is a drawing i did for my boyfriend Alex for his birthday. it's basically just full of lots of little inside jokes that only me and him will understand!!! but from an outsider's perspective, i'd hope that you could appreciate the style it's in.

this was another drawing i did for alex, it was comic book style and its him and me as comic book heroes. he's thor and i'm cat woman, hehehe.



well thats it for now!!!
hope you enjoyed what i got to show you and feel free to leave comments and critisism and advice and whatever it is you've got to say!!! catcha later
