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!
