Exhibition this Week, Packing up the Next

Hello all,

Welcome to my blog, please feel free to look at other entries :)

So the topic at hand is of course the exhibition! It was a somewhat stressful week as we all had to prepare and print out our work, and fit it all in the allocated space! Thankfully, mine did not take too long to sort out. I even printed out some.. prints to sell, hopefully some people bought some.

This is the last week it is open for, from 10AM to 4PM, this monday (6th) to friday (10th). At the University of Cumbria on Brampton Road. (Cumbria, UK)

Happy New Year! And news updates

First of all I hope you all had a good christmas and happy new year celebration!
I don't think I will set a new years resolution because I always fail to do them! Instead I will be keeping small goals to myself, one thing at a time, maybe I will stick to it that way?
What are your resolutions?

So I'm finally in my second year of university, I feel I have waited for forever to get here! 
So thank you to any supporters (?) on here and my facebook page @ Lisa Die Kunstenaar, I know I don't update much, but I do on occasion post new stuff - mainly on the facebook page because it's easier. And just to let you all know, one of my projects was to build a website and hook it up! So if you are interested, please do go have a look. I will be redesigning it over the summer when I have the spare time - redesign it so it will look better, I'm not so sure of it myself.

So please follow this link, there are some stuff I haven't posted on facebook or here that's on there, like some of this years projects.

So since I haven't posted any art from this year, I'm going to share something I've been working on over the holidays. I found a tutorial for this new technique I just learned and had to try it out!

This is a self portrait of me. Of course I need to work on my new found skill as it looks very rough but for my first attempt I think it's pretty cool.

Another project I've set myself is to learn about the program 3DS Max! I really look forward to the day where I can finally build cute, and not cute, diverse characters, and scenes, and lots more things! I'm very much excited and keen to get on with it, so wish me luck!

Life Drawing - Art Dump

Hi, all! 

Well I'm not going to upload all 57 photos again, it took too long and some of them uploaded upside down! 'Twas a pain to straighten up individually -_- So, this is an art dump from my life drawing class. The mediums I used are: quink ink, graphite/pencil, acrylic paint. 
I know the quink ink looks like coffee.. :/ I don't like it for that but the results right after painting it are great. Maybe I should stick to indian ink, but that quink ink cost a lot... -_- 

Some of these drawings/paintings aren't great but it's just myself learning the human form. This is a great way to practice and better my skill.

Also, be sure to check out my facebook page and follow me for daily-not-so-daily posts :D
(I update that more than this v_v)

Life Drawing

Hi, everyone

I should really post more often! I do apologise.

Well, here's an art dump of the past few life drawing sessions I've had, I haven't got photos of all my work but at least you can see what I've been up to and how much I've improved/what skill level I'm at. Also, that's Quink Ink I'm using... It's great for...ink drawings, but it does change colour after awhile...

As you can see; we've just started on colour! Warm tones bring it  forward, cool tones make it appear distant. The second attempt is more of a rendering of skin tone/colour. I really enjoy life drawing, however stressful, I get a great feeling afterwards - accomplishment!

Also, here are a couple other drawings I made (copies) from a previous project. I had to make them as accurate as I could!

And last but least; check out this cool ink bubble that formed on my art book! 

I wish I could do it again!

It's been awhile... v_v (Vanellope and life drawing)

Ohh, dear!
I do apologize!

Hmmm.. well, let's start off with Vanellope from Wreck-it Ralph!

I used Ai Illustrator CS6 to recreate Vanellope when she turns into a princess! Or, restored, really.
I was told to use patterns and gradients. I think it all ties in well.... :3

Next up; life drawing!
I had so much fun in my last session. Here's a ... Here's plenty of drawings for you.

In these sessions we were playing with tone, I really enjoyed that as it gave my inspiration. I like how rough and fast the sketches are, creates a raw image but you can see what the artist (I) is (am) thinking.
It's been 2 years since I last went to a life drawing class..
And I can honestly say I'm so happy to be back!
