Coffee to go! cafe graphic

Just working on a little side project on top of what a mountain of Graphic designer interest in my new graphic design foundation degree that I have just recently started!

I have been volunteering for a couple of Art galleries recently which has been really interesting. I have recently watched the 'Helvetica' film also, which has held such a great inspiration for some more graphic and type work to come.

hummingbird inkdrawing

Just entered by first year of my university foundation degree in graphic design and oh how busy it has been! Been so busy, creating strange ink drawings like this one...

what nice weather we have been having in Bristol!

This is an A3 ink drawing produced by hand with fountain pen

- no fine liner here on this one!

spacemen and the large (and rather quirky) weather balloon

Its nice to see some excellent work come together into a finished illustration.

There have been many posts relating to this which has discussed the development on the project, but here is the finished product. Acrylic on A3 canvas, with gloss coats and slight touches of fine liner pen to differentiate minimal details.

I feel that with these rather quirky characters, I wish to provide a greater range of usage for these original characters. To be used in different situations in other scenes in my work.

enjoy!

Spacemen! - sci-fi illustration in acrylic

A small project that I have been working on over the past three weeks. By completing this painting, I could really stretch my painting abilities of constructing shape and perspective with minimal construction lines.

The large blue sphere could allow me so create a sense of space within the illustration. By utilising the four spacemen, I could emphasise the depth of field by allowing them to interact with this strange space balloon.

- paint detailing -

I wish to soon produce a clear, clean cut image to place onto blogger to really produce a refined image.

Throughout the piece, I excluded the use of ink and the marker, to really stretch my detailing using black paint and brush control. The repetition of uniform and spacemen size had also pushed the boundaries of character duplication.

A test of imagination and constructive thought processes to visualise and produce a three dimensional character. Such a great painting exercise!

hope this makes you :)
