Media and techniques

I draw a yellow pansy and used line, texture and colour media and techniques.

I really like to use fine liner pens so enjoyed line and texture one. I used the same pens but depends on the shade I put these drawings are totally different.

I like the bold appearance of black lines too. Feels like no excuse for bad mistakes.

Colour one, I used the water colour paint. Maybe I should use smaller brush next time for more details.

I also tried digital drawing. The brushes which I used was the one which you gave it to us so it was interesting to try new texture.

Colour

This time about colors. I used calligraphy ink, fountain pen and brush like last time.

I love the way the ink blurred. I learned from your lesson that I don’t have to draw perfectly. So I more relax and enjoy drawings.

Shape

These are hand drawing with calligraphy inks. I really enjoyed using a fountain pen for drawing. The line is so delicate and sometimes I used brush for the larger area.it’s good show the depth of color as well.

I did some experiments with digital. Flip function is so cool to make nice work to make and so easy.

Texture and pattern

Depth and perspective

I enjoyed this class. I felt doing these in one class was a lots to do but overall quick sketch made these works interesting.

I like the roughness of lines but very bold and dynamic.

Proportion

I used a fine liner pen and watercolor this time, too.

I like the fine liner pen because I can draw small details really well. Flowers proposition and patterns are very well balanced. Very impressive!

Structure

I do love mushrooms so I really had fun to drawing in this class.

This time, I used watercolor (the first one is with fine liner pen) . The way to mix the colors is beautiful and sometimes can not control it which make this painting more interesting look.

Tone

I used pencil and watercolor for 2nd artwork. It’s nice to use different media so I can pick up good points of them and use it.

Line

Jellyfish symbolizes energetic flow, entanglement, and Reiki.

I checked some Jellyfishes x-rays and did This sketch with ballpoint pen.

I did the marbling on some blank paper before so decided to mix up with this jellyfish drawing.

I used Ibis paint X.

I really like the blue marbling one which looks like they are in the sea and able to show their slow and elegant movements.

I also enjoyed to using a lot of different digital effects.

During the lesson, I’ve got an idea about octopus as well. I thought drawing all body of octopus is boring so, just choose their legs and sketch by hand. And digitally mix both legs together. It looks totally new creature.

My son is really interested in beard dragon and I also think their looking would give me some different style which I normally do so I decided to draw it.

I use a ball point pen to draw this.

First, I use procreate and did simple line drawings. I thought their eyes give me strong story for the self so, draw line around eye and made people focus on it.

I like this background very much. It is very cheerful and funky very suit to this beard dragon. I still wanted focus on the eye so this time use a circle shape for a change. Then, it looks very nice! I’m very happy with this result.

This one was inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat.

I’ve never been to his exhibition but I heard his exhibition was huge great success in Japan. I wish I could visit there!

It’s surprise me that simple colorful lines make totally different type of arts! Very bold and powerful!

I wanted to do different approach for this beard dragon.

I thought it would be fun to make patterns with it. It’s kind of mad idea but looks quite cool.

I tried different colors and effects also combine with earlier designs.

First, I decided to draw a Fox from a photo and draw a fox’s skull. I used Sumie ink and Japanese calligraphy brush for a change of texture and colour. This ink is quite easy to tone like dark or light colour.

Step 2 :

Using an app called Procreate and mix up these 2 drawings.

I like the contrast of black and white lines. Very bold and have strong impact. I just put bone layer on the fox’s face drawing. Background is very rough and it’s really suit this aggressive image.

For this one, I used only fox’s skull drawing. I changed the sizes and angles then put couple of them. It looks like a little bit dinosaur’s fossils. Close up the one tiny bit of drawing makes interesting new creatures.I also enjoyed a splash of blue on this in the end.

This time, I used one of my fox’s mask drawing one did before and fox’s face drawing.

Piled up these two created a new creature. More serious and mysterious looking which I like. I also can see this as tamed animal to humans.

People’s eyes go to these red ears and because of red and white it gives a feeling of celebration.

I wanted play with background so,used thunderbolts.

This is a bit strange one. I wanted make a totally different work from others.

I redraw fox’s face with using line drawing style and cartoon style of squirrel on this. I wanted to show the fox has eaten cute squirrel.

Background I draw a fox in Japanese words and modern typography. (キツネ)

Outcome 2

Develop ideas progressively

Three fox masks. Back was the one I draw before in degital.

Mix up with the other class's brief ( Scottish culture) for background and bend face on the top. I like the digital was because so easy to change shapes.

Another changing face shape one. I like this black bold line of mask like Kirie effect.

I cut mask's ears and made a digital collage. Scary monster looking.

I feel a bit strange about Skelton looking fox masks but lines are dynamic and quite like it.

I like Escher so I used one of his artwork and crop and made a digital collage with this.

I got aJapanese kimono pattern image from internet then made a collage. Very mysterious.

I love this noise effect art. First, I thought too much but ended up space art looking work which I satisfied. Colors are so vivid too!

Outcome 1

Research and investigate visual source material

I used water colors to paint this face and mask. I wanted to show real identity is behi the mask also showing desire for what I want to be.

I made an actual mask for my son. It was a cake box and he loved it!

Based on Suzune mask. I quite like the bold strong black line which cartoon like.

More like a street art version. Add tongue to make fun fact.

Double faces. The catching rope to reveal real me.

Outcome 1

Research and investigate visual source material

Surprisingl, I really enjoyed digital way of works. I also feel sometimes overwhelmed by the volume of selections digital materials we get.

Simple sketch of fox mask.

I used fox's photo and put mask over it.

usually I don't use neon colors but it was cute.

I like the texture of black paper and scratch white lines.
