Architectural sketches

Going through selection, we had to choose 10 pictures with different viewpoints then sketch accordingly. It does have some errors as this was the first step towards the final drawings (previously posted) and manually done!

Architectural perspective

In addition to the one point and two point perspective drawings, I had to do a fish eye perspective and a transcription work whereby choosing an artist and using the same painting technique. The artist I chose for my transcription work was Raoul Dufy.

Trial and error using the fish eye technique. The error here is the straight up lines on the building when it should've been more of a roundish/ curvy shape.

The final fish eye perspective

Transcription work using the technique of Raoul Dufy. Note the very graphic aspect of it, that was how Dufy gave life to his paintings.

Perspective

First time attempting architectural perspective with one point and two- point perspective

DIY wire tree

A diy wire tree from one of my 3d modelling graphic projects. 80 strands of bending wire each of 100cm or more (I forgot! lol)  have been manually twisted to achieve this!

Bas relief (paper)

This one also hails from my first few weeks at university, a bas relief using paper (180, 240gsm) that I used to replicate a picture I'd taken at Osterlog Valley! (a protected area with amazing nature)
The 3d effect can be seen on the second picture :)

Screen Printing

Hello :)
It's been a long time since I last posted something so here's this thing I tried on my very first few weeks at university, screen printing. My chosen theme was tribal and we were asked to produce patterns with objects! (dry branches, leaves, rock, pebble, seed anything!!)
Here's the end result!

Linear drawing

Here's this one thing I had to try out using horizontal and vertical lines to complete the object. First of all, I had to do a basic shading of the object then using H & V lines for the light and shade.
It does take a lot of time to do that and yeah stay inspired :)
Good luck!
Keep visiting for more and don't forget to share :)

Keep on visiting for more. :)

Caterpillar

Here's one of my very first university assignments, we had to study first hand sources of inspirations then later on do an observational study.
Staedtler graphite pencils used.

Red flower

Here's this one flower I found in the garden where I really wanted to try the selective color option on my Nikon :) and the result came out pretty good!
The first one is the original picture followed by the selective color.
Hope you like it!

Update

A big hello to all my viewers, I know I haven't been posting lately. This is due to some major changes around :)

Hi guys! This is my first attempt at digital painting! I spent like 2-3hours only doing that and thought of sharing it! (still room for improvement,though)
Oh and I used 2 new brushes to do the detailing part, Linda Brushes and Sarsa Hair brushes.
