The day to day, today.

I like the fact that im posting more frequently, it only means I have more work/ideas. Although here its quite small. Like before I posted the WIP of the more sketchy style work, heres some more progress. I decided to take it further with different images, I dont yet have a title but as I produce more im sure something will fall into place. Keep in mind these are WIP.

        

    

The second of the 2 is a lot rougher than the first, needs to be cleaned up a lot more. Although I like the colours used I will also switch it up with something different.

Taking a Munny Doll, by Kidrobot, that I had already practiced painting onto I decided to take the practice further (as well as cover up the initial shoddy job). Using acrylic paint, but this time applying it in three thin layers building up the colour seems effective. However you can still see the brush strokes left from the first paint job. I think that using this technique on my other DIY toys will work better giving a smoother finish. This paired with the addition of varnish or spray will work best. I am also going to use spray paint in future for the best finish and applying smaller details in paint/ marker. As for this Munny, for now I actually like the finish, as it looks almost like graphite, as it has texture and almost metallic shine. I may add some white details or pattern to complete it.

seeing as I havent been up alot recently i have been planning my own projects, first is to redesign and think the 'legit.' idea i have had and create a potential line of designs that could later be used for clothing and shirts. The second main idea comes from editing photographs, and removing the eyes of the subjects. i like the effect which is ultimately quite haunting, and so am going to photograph a wider range of people to edit out the eyes later to create digital sketches and even a series of acrylic paintings from the outcomes.

i have also been playing around with my munnys which are still not done, and now that i have a substantial collection and some decent time i can focus and create something good with them. 

trippin' out.

the photographs i uploaded were just some of many that i took while walking around brick lane and covent garden with friends. not taking ourselves too seriously (the wrestling mask says it all). there is something about the atmosphere of being around people that take you as you come, that you can laugh and joke with, with no real offence taken either way, that makes the simplest of days out better.

although they look mainly random there is a general idea, people within there environment, alot of these pictures fit my main theme of work and will feature as primary source for painting/ drawing on what i explained before (theme). i will also edit them where necessary with simple filters for different effects.. 

..have got a new sketchbook and have already found some inspiration in ice cream cones.

inside.

being stuck inside all day. sick. you'd think a day off would be welcome. the sun thought otherwise and teased me from my window all day while i caught up on my sketchbook.. thought id take a tea break and take a picture. 
been listening to Band of Horses all day, so summer. cannot wait to be chilling in the sunshine this year with some as cool as people.

fallen off.

havent exactly posted much. turns out school dominates all at this time of year. easter break, then summer. oh, and the end of 6th form. it really has been an interesting time, i met some good people, good friends and one amazing person. its just sad that some things have to end too soon. and thats not a reference about school. the worst part is, i never got that picture to remember.

these have no reference, this is just what im feeling, listen scar tissue
