Art Class Project : Regret (draft)

Draft illustration for an art class project. The intention is for a series of images to collectively evoke an emotion, in this case 'regret'. I'll have each of the elements in the sketch on a separate layer of acetate, probably made with a mix of ink and collage - then the layers will be glued into picture frames that will be sandwiched together.

Postcard Brief - Back

And this is the back of the postcard. We had to use a self-portrait, and so this is the one that is recognisable. I used my pen tablet in Photoshop to do a sketch over the top of a photograph.

Postcard Brief - Front

This is the front of the postcard we had to design for art class. I've used a vector background that I did in Inkscape and then collaged a bunch of new stuff over the top. The coloured background is a photograph taken of food drawings we did.

Portaits

Vector portrait of my nephew, Ethan.

Software manual illustration

An illustration I did for (possible) inclusion in an accounting software manual. I used the freeware vector graphic program Inkscape.

Study drawing for lino print

Study for a lino print concept - using Staedler Triplus Colour markers

Another birdmask t-shirt design that I've adapted from
a recent lino print series.

Birdsnest

Currency design

A new t-shirt design that's now available to be worn by all truly cool people - see Bountee ad to the right

Super Undies

This was for a weekly sketch group theme on AI for "costume". I think
all good superheroes need good super undies

Beer and Lemon

Vectors, done in Fireworks

Pattern: Membrane

I've been practicing creating patterns lately. This was done entirely in Fireworks using vector shapes.

IF: Alphabets

This is for Illustration Friday's

"Alphabets" theme.

Solid 1

Thought I'd get a little existential...this one's all about form and space,
and the beauty of simple, solid lines and curves. The sky is drawn from
a picture I took with some work in photoshop. The rest was put together
in Fireworks.

IF: Missing

vector drawing for Illustration Friday's

I'm not sure of the full story here, but I'm

guessing blondie got caught "dacks down"

somewhere!

Lost

Pen and ink drawing / vector
I did this for Illustration Friday's "moon" theme.

The Red Wheelbarrow

Wax Pastels on paper

I did this for Illustration Friday's "poem" theme. I always liked The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams (1923). We studied it at school and it was the only one I could ever remember.
