Ruby

Taking a break from schoolwork to try out my old conté pencils. Never used them, but they're pretty awesome really.

Ruby from Once upon a time. Basically, I just needed a convenient face to draw. But Ruby does kick serious ass, so that's a nice benefit :).

Two Pitchers (as exciting as it sounds)

Oh my god, two pitchers! Yeah, the subject is not terribly exciting, but here you can see what we did this week at the pre-pre-pre-artpreschoolprecourse (now I'm sure there are too many pre's). First, blind sketching, which means not looking at your paper (it doens't mean drawing blindfolded, as I thought) with charcoal and secondly painting the same still-live with acrylics. This time while looking.
I don't think still-lives will be my next favorite subjects.







 Meanwhile, a little update: it's my birthday today! I'm 18 now! :)

Eye Inception

Some weeks ago I enrolled in a Pre-Art Academy Preparation Course. That are too many pre's, aren't it? Anyway, the first thing they made us do was draw a scene from mind. Or rather our perception of a scene. The only thing that would come to my mind was the hotel/gravity shift scene from Inception (awesome movie, btw.) which is the charcoal drawing on the back.
A lesson later, we had to put a part of our faces on top of our previous drawing. Hence the monstrous eye. The eye is: graphite pencil, some white chalk, and acrylic paint in white and blue.
Oh, and this painting is LARGE in real life. About a good two meters high and one and a half meters wide. That's big. Trust me.
