This is a hyper-realistic portraiture in progress of Andrea Michelle Edge. I chose this picture to symbolize her seriousness but prideful personality. This (series) originated from my SallyKate picture (later in my blog) due to my discovery of being able to work with colored pencils on portraits. I have always struggled with the concept of layering and thanks to Austin Decker I am closer to understanding the concept.
This is a Hyper-realistic portraiture of my sister and her college roommate. Their expressions show their fun, happy, and playful attitudes. My sister (on the right) and her roommate (on the left) both expressed their admiration for my colored pencil work from the beginning of this year and i decided that it would be a good thing to do as a gift for two people in my life who are such good people and influences on the people around them.
This Piece is planned to go towards my breadth category for my Ap Studio Art portfolio. This represents how the earth and nature supports life. When you look around it is easy to see in black and white negatively but when you can see things in a different aspect the world becomes much more beautiful.
This picture was the turning point in my art (career) I never knew that time and patience could produce suck quality work. From second grade up until this I would somewhat rush all of my pictures which led me to see that in my result. I never found happiness and pride in my art until this picture and since then I have found out that art takes time and patience.
This picture followed the horse that I had a revelation over. In those few weeks I found a new passion/direction in my artwork and all I wanted to do was create art. I liked the seriousness and contrast in the dark blacks to the brighter whites. This picture represents how I feel in the morning when I don't feel like waking up.
This lion I would have to say could be considered my first attempt at mixed media. This includes sharpie, pen, fountain pen ink, and colored pencil. I had the sketch originally but I just didn't know what to do with it so late on night I started throwing color down with ink cartrages which led to what it is now.
