Van Gogh sketch

Van Gogh sketches

Public art - fashion page

Here i have created a double page spread on fashion and how it could be classed as public art. Many designers build and create these master pieces just like a sculptor would.

Journal pages

"Kate's" 2012

Here is an old portrait taken from a picture i did of

myself and one of my friends kate. I think it was quite

an usual way of doing a portrait as it has very minimal

detail however you can still see every facial feature.

To create this piece i used a tea bag to colour the paper, 

pencil to draw in the basic outline and acrylic paint to

fill it all in.

"outside" 2013

As you can see these are pages taken from my college

summer journal. The main theme i was aiming for with

these pages was nature in all her beauty. I made this as i

went outside and really looked at things for the first time

instead of just rushing past everything and avoiding the rain.

Nature is wonderful and i think everyone should take

in her amazing sights everyday. "Life isn't about waiting 

for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain."  

For these pages i used wallpaper, pen and acrylic paint.

"Theatre royal Margate" 2013

This is a quick sketch i did of the Theatre 

Royal in Margate whilst waiting in the

dressing room for my queue to be on stage.

I was preforming in a Musical at the time

and so everytime i look at this picture

i can remember the excitement and thrill

i was feeling at that exact moment. It was electric.

I drew this from a picture. 

To create this drawing i just used a simple

black ball point pen.

Personally this is one of my favourite drawings

ive done in a while as i think it turned out

better than i expected it would.

'Life drawing pastel' 2013

This is a piece i did through my class's

life drawing project. For this particular

picture i was trying to aluminate the tone

and shade on the human form when a

bright light was shining on them from one

angle.

This drawing is layered over my other life

drawing pieces. I did this to add effect to the 

page i was creating. I have used the sudden 

burst of colour to act as a sort of centre

point of focus. The medium i have brown and 

white oil pastel.  

                     
                                                                  'many faces'  2013
                                      This is a double A5 page taken from my summer journal.

The summer journal was a assignment set by my college

and we had to basically document what we did throughout

our summer.

For this page i found a design i liked in a shop window 

in Milton Keynes and so i decided to recreate it myself

for my journal. For this particular design i used materials

such as water colour paints, pen, ink, acrylic and pencil.

I like the way this turned out and am very happy with my attempt.
