Jenson Ackles

Hello readers. This is my second minor piece for Art Prac. It's Jenson Ackles, an American actor best known for his work on Supernatural or some soap opera I cant remember. This is actually the second attempt. The first was with charcoal and I rushed the last half and I wasn't happy with it. This one is with a black Prismacolor (coloured pencil) and nothing else. Hope you like it!

Sarah's birthday present!

Me and my friend Amie made this canvas for a friends birthday present. We spray painted 12 thongs in bright colours and then did the same with the canvas, then glued the thongs onto the canvas. In total the materials came to around $42, not bad if I do say so myself.
If you were wondering Sarah collects thong like objects, such as thongs.

First Minor Piece-Oprah Winfrey

My first minor piece for Year 12 Art Practical

Subject- Oprah Winfrey
Context- Potrait
Medium- Graphite (6H (outline), 2B 4B 6B)

Let there be colour!

Same eye as before but now in colour. I used 6H pencil for the outline. Then used Primsas for the colours. Mostly beige, peach, indego and electric blue tones. Let me know which one you like more; graphite or Prismacolor

Just an eye.

Hand and caligraphy pen picture

This is a hand i drew in Art today. I used 6H pencil for graphite to outline. To do most of the shading I used 6B 4B and 2B and H for the wrinkles. I saw using a smudge stick to blend the graphite. I thought this was strange because they're designed for pastels and charcoal, but it worked really well! A smudge stick is a roll of compressed paper and you use it just like a colourless blender pencil. Hope you like it.

I apologize for the shit quality of the photo.

First thing I drew in Year 12 Art

The fist thing we had to draw was a sphere using black and white charcoal. WE had willow charcoal, compressed, and pencils (both black and white).

I know it's not much but I'm fairly happy with it anyway.

The dress i designed.

SO here is that dress I was talking about. It's fairly extravagant but I like it anyway. I used my "Prismacolors" for the colour. I don't like the shading on the leg, but I suppose the dress is the focus. Hope you like it!

New Toys :)

Hello there! I have not blogged recently and thought it was about time. Today I got some new products from my favourite art shop, Riot Art and Craft Supplies.

Anyway I picked up some canvas panels for my school art book. I got these because when we do our back up work we are encouraged to experiment with mediums(different types of drawing implements) so instead of painting directly on my page, i bought a canvas panel to glue in so it doesn't ruin the page, as well as looking unnecessarily extravagant. These are about A4 size and were $2.99 each

I also bought a wooden mannequin man for $14.95 I like it for a few reasons; it will be easier to draw body's and it looks cool in my room.


I also picked up some felt tip pens, for $3.99 each. They are amazing qualtiy sleek and come in a range of nib sizes. The ones I got are .03mm and .005mm. I never knew such a small point existed, it's barely visible yet amazingly impressive.

The black one at the bottom is one of the pens I purchased.



Well that's all for now, I shall take a picture of that dress soon for all to see.

Have a good one!
