Lana Del Ray

Greetings my fellow humans! For my last 2D project at GCC I had to do a composition and positive/negative drawing and I chose the wonderful lana del ray to do it on.. I already turned it in and I won best in class!! Ohh I was so happy! Now.. For the artwork! 

First I had to choose a composition.. And out of many different drawings I decided on this one.. It was easier to draw all the objects on Bristol bord and then trace my drawings so I would be able to easily chose a composition. 

After that I just shaded what I wanted to be black..

Then I transferred my drawing to a new Bristol paper.. And began blacking out the shaded areas with sharpie.. 

And now for the finished product.. My positive drawing.. 

But this was only the half way point!!! 

After I had the positive done I had to start the negative.. So I traced my positive drawing with the opposite shading.. And then put transfer paper onto a new Bristol sheet... 

After the transfer.. Again all that needed to be done was to black out with sharpie..

After that I was done! Here is the negative Finnish product! 

Overall I am very happy with how it turned out.. And I was beyond excided about winning best in class for it, especially because of some of my other classmates projects!! Now here are some photos of everyone else's! 

And here is mine side by side! 

Overall I am more then pleased with how it turned out!! And all i can say is "we were born to die" -Lana del ray! 

Star Wars!

I haven't been on for a while due to no longer being in my photography class; to be honest I don't have a lot of time and whatever free time I have is usually used to draw or paint! BUT I do intend on posting more often because I would love to get some feedback on anything creative I do... This week I'm going to focus on.. thats right... STAR WARS! I figured it would be a fun topic and I'm using it as a way to slow down and take a break from all of my college classes! I started with a Storm Trooper  because I wanted to do a black and white drawing.. after the sketches it turned into a painting! I tend to take photos of the steps as well as the end product so bare with me! 

First I made a simple sketch of a Storm Trooper.

 Then I outlined my sketch so it would be easier to see. 

 After the thicker line I only had to paint, I chose to only use black, white, and a little bit of gray for a stronger contrast.

after all the black and white was painted I was done with the storm trooper.. then only final touches needed to be made... this was the fun part! all I needed was.... BLOOD! Then I was done... Let me introduce my Zombie Storm Trooper!! HA

I had fun.. and now to move on to two other Drawing/paintings...  The Force Is With you.
