Recent works & updates!
So, I'm pretty stressed, and my hair's falling out by the handful, not sure if this is due to my tablets or stress, or both, anyway- feeling absolutely terrible and am snowed up to my eyeballs with both Studio Practice work and Understanding & Researching Contemporary Art! research, presentation and essay- all due in the next few weeks. It's my PP presentation rehearsal tomorrow- SHITTING IT. I hate talking to alot of people, especially so indepth and for ten whole minutes. God.
So, firstly I've been adding bits and bobs to my personality piece of my little sister. It's full of bold colours (shes a very.. colourful character to say the least!) There's a big mass of red- as she has a firey temper- she's surrounded by flowers and alot of floral subject as she is known for wearing flowers in her hair and she also wears alot of floral clothing. I've done her portrait in black and white to contrast with the bold colours- and have added small pieces of her jewelry and such, along with a reference to "Little Bear" as we've always called her little bear/bearcub since she was little and she used to be small and chunky like a little bearcub, haha. But yes. Here's some progress shots- and where I am now. Hopefully there's a progression else i'm doing it wrong. All the painting is done with oils.

Practice makes perfect?
So....
Tough few weeks.
Hence no real posts of any kind.
So uni is, alright I guess.
Pretty tough, but just working hard at it as it's the only thing I've actually got.
Trying my best. So doing a few pieces based on personality and self image portraits.
So the ones posted are based on my little sister. Eventually the plain drawing will be surrounded by other smaller drawings of things that I associate her with, and things and colours which I feel best represent her personality.
This piece was done using charcoal.
Right hand side of her face drawing close up.
Left hand side of her face drawing close up.
Center of her face and eyes drawing close up.
A quick edit posted on my instagram.
Hence no real posts of any kind.
