Thought I'd put some of my artwork up on here.
But at the moment the quality is a bit rubbish, had to take them on my digi cam =|
But I'll scan them in asap.
For now, here's two of my favourite pieces.
click (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/oceansoul181/Other/horsepictures001.jpg)
^^ this is an A3 piece I did, it took me a good 4 hours to do! But it was well worth it. You can't see it very well at the moment, but I promise I'll get a better quality pic up soooon.
click (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/oceansoul181/Other/horsepictures003.jpg)
^^ Another A3 piece I did, didn't take me as long though :P This is slightly better quality that the other.
I've got a lot more pic's I'll scan in too & I've also painted a huge canvas which I'll get a picture of soon. It's at school at the moment though.
For one of my art briefs I did a project on Horses (as you can probably tell). So on Sunday, for my research I went to a local show to take pictures.
I took roughly 96...But of course I had to delete quite a few.
Here are some of the best ones..

I've also taken some pictures of me & edited them quite a lot but I don't know whether I want to put them up..
I'm not the best subject, haha.
But if anyone wants to see them, just ask & I'll post.
-
Its a hard dicission but i think i like the second drawing better.
the photo's look good as well.
Yeah please can i see the pics you took ???
I've never been that good at editing photo's myself either, but there you go ;)
Bhaal >:(

Okie.
I'm the worlds most biggest poser though, ha :P
Most of the text on the photo's are lyrics from songs that I like.

8 (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/oceansoul181/My%20Pictures/doesthisfeellikelove.jpg)
To change the colours I changed the contrast on most of them.
& used colour change or hue/saturation on the others.
-
:o Wow those are good :o
My faviroute has gotta be
...
hmmm.
...
...
...
4 i think
Bhaal >:(
-
Thankyou :)
I think 4 has to be one of my favourites also ^___^
-
^^ don't really like this one...I look blahish :8o
What did you mean by that?
It looked good to me :)
Bhaal >:(
-
I just don't really like it.
It's my least favourite out of all of them.
-
*looks again*
wow your face its realy white in that. :o
is that why?
Not sure which one is my least faviroute, i'll have to have a look again.
Bhaal >:(
-
Yeah probably :P
I'm not usually that white.. :8o
I think it's because the way the light was...I'm not sure.
But my face isn't normally that white..
It's actually pretty coloured.
& very red. Ergh, hate it.
-
So your not white your slightly tanned and red.
whats wrong with that 8)
But i get why you dont like your face being red :)
personally i cant stand my face being red either
...
...
its all
...
red lol
Bhaal >:(
-
lol yups.
My cheeks are always too red.. :8o
People think I use a lot of blusher...But I actually don't really like wearing make-up apart from eye-liner & mascara.
Anywho..
I'm taking new pictures of me again some time soon ('cos I need new ones...they're pretty old) but not got a lot of time at the moment.
& I'll scan those drawings in as soon as I can...But yeah, again not a lot of time >.<
-
dnt woz bout the red face i bet you look good what ever ;)
kwl no rush.
i bet there still gunna look good no matta what :) ;) :)
Bhaal >:(

:[ Thanks.
Got a bit bored tonight & have done some more edits on some older pic's.
Spent a good few hours just messing around on Photoshop & came out with these..
Pop Arty styles
1 (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/oceansoul181/meeeeee0004copy.jpg)

Changed the lighting & contrast/brightness slightly & also changed the eye colour.

^^ same but poster edges filter.
:)

NP
With the pop arty ones the one i like most is #3 :)
But with the other two i would say the first one. :) (but it was hard to decide)
Bhaal >:(
-
Thankyou ^___^
Yeah, I like the 3rd in the pop art ones. Took longer than the others but ayyee, like it muchly.
Gonna do some more pop art ones & use some other pictures of different people...Only so much you can do with self portrait pictures ::)
Also made a faerie out of clay & wire for the wings today, not quite finished yet as I need to paint & glue on materials for the dress & feathers for the wings but I'll take some pictures & post them up tomorrow. Won't be finished but I can at least show the stages of producing it :)
also need those pictures for part of my analysis for art :P
-
Kwl sounds good.
you do art.
...
when ur art exam i've got mine thursday and friday comming.
Bhaal >:(
-
Already had mine :) had it last month but we can still add to our prep work if we need to.
Which is good 'cos I only actually drew & researched the pictures I planned to use in the exam ::)
oops.
What do you have to do for yours?
-
BIG oops there :)
Well as the theme was structures, i chose natural disaersters.
. . .
. . .
So what i'm doing is that i'm makeing a tornado comming out of an egg shell.
The egg shell witll be made out of paper mashai (bugger i think i spelt that wrong :()
The frame of the tornado will be made out of chicken wire shaped correclt (by me) then i will have normal wire wrapped around it so it (hopefully) looks remotly like a tornado.
The egg will be obviously be the same colour of an normal egg, but it will also be decorated in the style of "musical vorticies" by shawn shelders.
Allote to do in 10 hours. :'(
Bhaal >:(
-
Wow. That sounds really good :) & although the 10 hours does past by really quick you get LOADS done.
During our exam there was a fire though (all the way up in the Science labs, so no where near our exam pieces...Phew) so we got extra time which was pretty great :P
Ah, I wanna do that exam again. Two days of nothing but art is the best!
For mine I painted a mural and we had a set brief. We had a choice of what we could do but we had to use different cultural pictures and the theme of mazes & knots had to be shown throughout the piece.
So for mine I did a huge maze background, in the centre I had a celtic Dragon (which was more for the knots than the culture) then in the 4 corners I had Indian, Chinese, Native American & Celtic Art :). Came out better than I expected :D
Good luck with your exam anyway! I'm sure you'll do great ^___^
-
:o wow :o that sounds good hope you get a good grade for it. :)
I like the dragon in the middle of the maze ( proberly because i like dragons but there you go ;))
Proberly will get done quickly but then again as you said if i finish too quickly i have got 2 days of nothing. ! ! YAY ! !
Thank you, i hope i do well also. :)
Bhaal >:(
-
Well, if we finished we got told to add to our prep work or other work we have done throughout the course. I didn't finish though & had to go into extra time in lessons.
But I got it done, which is the main thing :P
I wonder what I got for it actually...I sorta haven't asked lol.
I just finished & left it in the hands of my teacher ::)
-
Proberly wont be able to find out what you got for it once every thing has been completed and done.
You know when they say that the examiners call up peoples work
. . .
Apperently mine and several others in my art class has been called up.
But my art teacher has assured us that it isnt to check up on us it's more to check up on her
and that she is marking correctly.
I was panicking when i first found out because i thought they were thinking i had cheated on my coursework.
Bhaal >:(
-
Oh yeah, same at my school. No idea who's been chosen for our art though.
But far as I know my work hasn't been chosen to be looked at yet by anyone. YAY ::)
We got all the lectures that it was to test the teachers not us loads of times. Annoying really :dry:
But don't worry about it :)
-
I'm fine, apperently in my course work i done really well.
And that she has never made a mistake in markeing befor.
So there you go.
But then again there is always a first time for everything isnt there
Mua ha ha ha ha ha
Sorry got a bit carried away there
! ! LOL ! !
Bhaal >:(
-
Lol! :laugh:
Well aye, but am sure it'll all be fine.
If there's anything wrong it'll be her marking.
Hey! You might even go up a grade, hehe :P
-
OoOoOoOo YAY wouldnt mind that.
another B grade nder my belt.
but the chance of that is VERY VERY VERY slim.
But there you go thats life.
And for the rest of that look under my avatar.
it says it all 8)
Bhaal >:(
-
wow you have real talent girl! all your pieces look great! :D
You will both have to show us pictures of your final pieces when you get them back!
I remember my 10 hour art exam, absolutely loved it, best way to spend ur birthday lol! I will show you a picture of my final piece when i upload it :) Really regret not continuing art now :( ::)
Good luck to you both! 8)
-
What a way to spend your birthday :(
Thanks and will do, just finished first part of my exam today, 5 more hours to go
! YAY !
But the thing is i'me not sure that i'm going to be able to finish it all in time :'(
Bhaal >:(
-
Aww, how did it go?
Thankyou Del! :)
I'm taking my camera into school all this week (last week ::)) so I'll get a picture of my exam piece for anybody who wants to see it :)
-
Yeah it went ok.
I could have spent more time on the patternt on the egg shell, but t mainly followed the basic design and showed links to my researched artists.
I had a letter through over the weekend saying that i'm a B grade in art so far (i was predicted a C) and i need to go back on some of my folder work to push it up to an A grade so that if some marks gets docked i'm still a B :D
Ty for asking, and yeah i'll try to get a pic of it sometime soon ;)
Bhaal >:(
-
Wow! Thats great!!
I'm struggling to get a B :(
Mainly 'cos 3D work lacks. Folder work is all fine, 2D work...Everything except 3D but I have til 21st June to sort all that out :)
But sounds great and yep! Get pictures up! I want to see what you did, it sounds interesting from the way you described it ^__^
-
Dont worry you'll get there ;)
Yeah i'll do that.
BTW, what did you do for your art course work?
For southampton water i done
3D peice: fish which shows links to rust
2D peice: style of chosen artist (Dian Church) with links to rust
Aboriginal Art i done
3D peice: i made a table and decorated it in aboriginal style
2D peice: i done a painting on A2 peice of card of my jurny to school in aborigibal style with this realy good pattern down the the bottom left corner spredding out onto the majority of the page.
Bhaal >:(
-
ooo, sounds good! :)
erm, we did:
Natural Forms:
3D piece - er, still working on that! :P We were meant to do pots but I tried...and failed...But I'm currently working on a chest which I'm decorating with patterns and peacock feathers.
2D - I did a big piece on Peppers and one on a Kiwi (very interesting ::)) and I also designed and made my own fridge magnet (apparently too flat to be 3D! :dry:) I also did a tile :). Then there's all the drawings and paintings in my sketch pad. Also studied some artists which I can't remember the name of :8o
Stamp Designing:
3D - there wasn't anything we could do for 3D.
2D - the actual stamp we designed. loads of different pieces of computer aided design using Photoshop. Lots of drawings and we studied the artist Hundert Wasser.
Artists (we got to choose an artist to study...I choose Amy Brown :)):
3D - I did a box, painted it, then carved in when the paint was still quite damp a faerie design (looks quite good :P) and currently working on a clay model of a faerie (it's almost finished).
2D - Most 2D was done in my book, just observational drawings then I moved onto my own designs inspired by Amy Brown's.
Portraits:
3D - Still working on my first attempt of a Horse carving...According to one of my friends it looks like some instrument (can't remember what she said) and according to my mum it looks like a Crocodile...Great ::). Doing another one of those though, hopefully this time it'll look better!
2D - Painted a picture of a Horse on a HUGE canvas which took me a total of 3 full days! Then I've done a lot of work in my sketch pad and also edited a lot of my own photographs using photoshop and showing how I used different effects etc.
Then there was our exam brief..
Nobody did any 3D work for that unless they did the choice in the exam for 3D, it was mainly just research then our final piece.

lol
well at least your giveing it a go and that it looks like an animal thats what you say, where as some people when they trey to draw animals they dont look like anything that they were intended to be
e.g. me ;)
Bhaal >:(
-
I think all your drawings are very good :o
and the Dragon you drew looks like a Dragon :P
But I have no problem drawing Horses..
I'm actually not too bad at that if I do say so myself.
But this is the first time I've ever carved anything out of wood.
I've built plenty of things out of wood...Never carved it though.
But shall see how it turns out...I think my problem is that it's so small...It's really hard getting the shape and details.
I think I may have to do it bigger next time..
-
I agree, carveing into wood is alote more difficult than drawing with a pencil.
What i mant is that i'm not good at drawing animals, where as a dragon isnt a animal and that it dosent nesseserallary have to look "properly" as it is fantacy :D
And animals i cant get the legs and almost everything right but o well ;)
I'm sure it'll turn out good once it has been finished. ;)
Bhaal >:(
-
Well, you couldn't draw a Dragon with 3 eyes, 5 legs and 1 arm really could you? :P
Unless it was surrealism.
Most animals I can't really draw. I can get the shape and structure spot on...But when it comes to the faces and facial features...I make a right mess lol.
But ah well :P
Thankyou...Well, I think I've given up on the carving..
I'm gonna start another.
Managed to get some photo's of my work in art today, so here they are..
3D work
Fridge Magnets:
Faerie (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/oceansoul181/Art%20Work/stuff004.jpg)
Natural Forms (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a87/oceansoul181/Art%20Work/stuff005.jpg)
Those damn fridge magnets caused me loads of hassle...That wood didn't want to be cut or sanded down! ::)
Box

-
:o :o ! ! WOW ! ! :o :o
Those are really good, hard to decide what one i like the most.
Yeah sometime cutting and sanding wood can be a right
. . .
. . .
ummm
. . .
pain yes thats the word i was looking for :D
Bhaal >:(
-
Thanks :)
One of my favourites definitely is the Mare and the Foal. But that stupid Foal didn't want to look right when I was drawing it! Took me ages to make it look kinda right ::)
Ayyeee! Tis indeed! But most of the time I like working with wood.
Reason why I took Resistant Materials :P
Hehe.
-
yup takeing RM does kinda help when your working with wood just a lil bit ;)
although i dont think that carveing things into wood coms into RM but still, doing the sub helps :)
Still they all look good to me :)
Bhaal >:(

it was like a little flute thingy or a tobacco pipe ^_^

-
Megzie you should definitely post some of your recent artwork!

Megzie you should definitely post some of your recent artwork!

-
Oh gosh! I don't have anything recent haha. My artwork ceased to exist some years ago although I will try and find something more recent than what's here :)
-
That was be great!! See what you have, or do some new stuff??
