Painting with bleach

I developed this idea after staring at an old sketchbook cover, it was very bright and the colour annoyed me so  much I had to rip it apart (not the sketchbook) but the  cover.

I am very proud of this although the drawing itself is not particularly amazing, the fabric cover was easy to bleach and colour again that is why this works very well. 

One drawing 3 ways

This is the original drawing, I am going to use this in my final piece it is drawn on this white card.
For my final piece I am adding different elements of myself and my drawings to make almost a big puzzle of drawings featuring me.So I have been summing up ways in which I can use one drawing to make several other drawings, my Photoshop skills are not the best but I am pleased with how this turned out

Today

I feel like I am finally making a breakthrough with my drawings, I am considering putting these on show at my exhibition.

30 by 30 scanned

I do casually do some 30 by 30 cm drawings, I enjoy them I never know what the outcome is going to be. For these drawings I used oil paint one of my favourite mediums, this project so far has been this most liberating of all the project I have done since starting university.

I feel like myself again or a bit of my self coming back again. I am referring to the more experimenting multi tasking old me.

I used oil paint for these, I finally bought turps so it is morepliable now and a tad easier to spread the paint.

 

For my final piece I intend to to make college of my drawings from my sketchbook, and introduce some new ones. I am going to make this collage on a roller blind.

30 by 30 (in the series of)

This is the first original cleaned slightly on Photoshop. The one below is a photoshop negative.

The one above I though I ‘d colour it in using Photoshop paint brushes, I thought it was relevant to mix up my illustrations instead of keeping the same old repetitive (well i feel like I am being repetitive)

Image transfer (failed)

For this illustration i tried an old method i used to use in the past, it did not work so I had draw some of the outlines with a fine liner. I drew on calico and water down some of the lines. I think for my final piece I want to achieve the same texture and line quality.

My 30 by 30 cardboard drawings, this part of my project where I was in Limbo going right on track by basing the drawings on me myself and I

ADORNED

I cannot decide whether I like this drawing or not? I suppose it is part of the process bear with me.

Drawings from sampling project part I

This a drawing that I layered on Photoshop. I like the way I used pencil and watercolour.

Drawing made using Photoshop brushes, I made the brushes using my a drawing from my sketchbook.

More Photoshop techniques using some of my original photography then applied Photoshop to manipulate and layer imagery.

I walk the line

One of my favourite illustrations I used water to mark the skin and then oil pastels to outline the apron, i love it works with illustration

A knitted sample of rthe the illustrated jumper.

Drew the line using a graphite rthis was one was a quick whip up sketch.

More entries from my sketchbook I am very happy with theses drawing and I would like to continue on doing some more.

One more line

Another of my favourites, I think I am getting the hang f this drawing thing, here I was just experimenting using coulor and pencil, getting more confident to use pencil

I drew the out outline using graphite because I wanted that shiny texture but when I looked at it again, it did not look nice so I compromised and used watercolour one of my favourite medium I really like this drawing because of the line and plus I had fun drawing it.
