Practice Neutrals

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-02-27 17:04:11 UTC

I was practicing textures and two different neutrals one golden brown and the other a lavender maroon. I was using paint with playing around with it.

Grasping Calm

For this mood, drawing I used the moods was calm and collectiveness. I expressed this through curves and shading. I used sharpie for the thick lines on the fish, and charcoal for the shading and the eraser and thin charcoal for the circle.

Intitals

Just putting the letters down and rearenging.

Trying more curvy style.

Initials

Curvy with a geometic "growth"

Creation=Destruction Series

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-02-27 17:21:01 UTC

I did this with oil paint. I wanted to do a series with this idea. Also went with the idea of clouds and pollution. I believe I illustrated this well. Now looking back on it working with the oil paint was difficult for me. It was like working with condensed ink. I would like to try it again, but perhaps more abstract.

Putting focus into every line. Her detail is very intricate and interesting .

Inking with a ballpoint pen before watercolor is applied. And KITTY!

Dragon's Ward

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-02-28 15:51:41 UTC

This is my interpretation of O-Vals- by Gjallarhorn. Half way done. I was having difficulties with blending and color choices. Another difficulty was that the detailing on the dragon's neck. Making it look like stained wood or cut outs was a very difficult process of learning and experimenting at the same time. I also changed my idea here for the corner of the piece, which is covered by my palate in the picture. My original idea was to have an eye looking behind the shield, but I realised that wouldn't play well with the composition with two controdicting focal pouints.

Dragon's Ward

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-02-28 16:24:31 UTC

Just beginning the green hatching of the shield, which was extremely difficult for me. Curving the brush was difficult to stay in very thin lines. This process was a mistake on my part. I wasn't thinking about the background. I wanted the background a lighter green, which did not occur to me at the time I should have done the light green in the background first. With watercolor you want to go light to darks, back to front. This process costed me a lot of water and dabs of a cloth trying to prevent smearing of the dark green or the whole piece at times. Learning on the job is what art is all about, you have to figure it out yourself to make it click in your mind.

The Journey

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-03-01 19:23:54 UTC

I did this on my spare time using an ink ball pen. It took about a month and a half to do this, but I only did it in my chemistry class when I got bored. I started as the doodle in the middle of a robot man. then I wanted an intricate background and started the millions of lines.

The Journey

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-03-01 19:52:20 UTC

Just starting out. I just drew the robot as an abstract doodle and I committed to it because I saw potential in him. I started this when I was having troubles thinking about the future. I didnt mean it to express my problems at the time, but it untintetionally did.

Hello?

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-03-01 19:55:59 UTC

I used a green gel pen on a chemistry paper to scribble down what I was seeing in my head. I faded it out with a repetition of the word 'hello' and a word could with a clear 'hello'. This is the same picture as the one on the left except turned into negative. Thought it would be intresting.

The Journey

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-03-12 16:01:58 UTC

The pattern of the bolder line reminded me of DNA being torn or disintegrating the double helix structure. I started the structures with firm bases and slowly and had the structure fall apart. At the top parts of the structure far off in opposite directions from the pattern to show choices that weren't chosen. The beginning of a single structure form the two at the beginning show compromise of two wants/ needs to a single purpose or goal.

Finished product. This project helped me grow my artistic interpretation. Sounds into colors and tones into pattern was difficult for me. I believe this project was important for me to grow as an artist. This project was an eye opener for me. It made me relaize how thing don't turn out how you first imagine them. You get an idea follow it loosely and make suddle compromises on the way , which slowly changes the whole piece.

Daydreaming

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-03-12 16:18:10 UTC

I drew this in my spare time, thought it was really interesting. Smooth ballpoint pen and H3 pencil for outlining.

Watermelon Man Practice

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-06-01 15:25:00 UTC

We did this practice to start seeing our music interpretation skills. I had never done this before, but I feel like it was an interesting thing for me to try. I visualized a jungle, I never did finish the background, unfortunately. This is a good example of my work with oil pastels.

Practice Neurtals

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-06-01 15:32:17 UTC

Practice board. Different colors and such. I thought at first I was going to use acrylic, but I turned against the thought after my color studies.

Hello?

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-06-01 15:39:37 UTC

Just a doodle that hit me in chemistry. I try and doodle what i think most of the time. It's good practice for me and it relaxing for me.

"Kansas Bound"

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-06-01 15:47:42 UTC

This project was irritating for me. I choose a project that I didn't realized needed a lot of attention. I did the purple outline first and then went over it with the colors of the church.

"Kansas Bound"

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-06-01 15:48:54 UTC

I decided the foreground to be darker to create contrast. This isnt my greatest work, but I do love the idea of a church on black ground. the background is lighter to make a sort of layering.

Far Over

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-06-04 03:30:38 UTC

Starting the background basics of the hills and structures. It was really run making that sunset, but it took a lot of blending and bleeding with the watercolor. It was difficult coming up with the compitsition with some sort of perception to it.

Far Over

HopelesslyCrazy — 2015-06-04 03:43:53 UTC

Detailing process creating the creatures and the human. Starting concepts of the dragon and the Rabbid (the blue center creature, cross between a rat and a rabbit)
