Various College Work
Brought some work from college home yesterday, still have no idea where to put itall, as what I brought home isn't even half of what I did. We need another room in the flat. An art studio sounds like a great idea..hmm one day. A girl can dream.
The first drawing I did using the pastel and water technique. Neat effect that I want to keep playing with. I do like how it softens up the pastels and they blend together pretty well when water is added. Still have to deal with the dust from the pastels and they still can still smudge if they pastels are put down thickly.
Second attempt. Little more streaky then the last but I was using the pastels over the previously wetted down pastel layer. I think it might have worked better if I had of waited for the layer to dry, but I was just fooling around at this point trying to see what would happen.
And some quick 5 minute ink sketches :) I've been spending the last few classes sketching in ink, probably going to run out soon :p I knew before that I enjoyed drawing in ink, but I think if I had to choose between ink and coloured pencil, it would be a hard choice.
My schedule for classes changed. Just when you get use to where you need to go, you walk into the wrong class :p

Very cool! I've always been interested in animal skulls...
ReplyDeleteOf course your ink drawings are always terrific! But I really like the way you are using color and line in these pastel drawings. Have you tried using crayons? No dust with wax crayons. Or Neocolors II, you can blend those with water or leave as is.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of people who use ink. It's so bold and confident as a medium!
ReplyDeleteThese sketches are beautifull!!
ReplyDeleteI like the skulls! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePen and ink have always been my favorite. I think it's because I usually go for stark and bold all at the same time.
I remember doing a sheep or goat skull in college. I sat next to a guy who was so amazing it was demoralizing! LOL! Nice job...
ReplyDeleteLove seeing all your drawings like this - they look great :)!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, those are great! You make me want to try pastels. But hell, I can't even manage to get decent results with my watercplor pencils..grrr... I should just bite the bullet and take a class at the local art guild.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your sketches, Jennifer...those ink ones are really drawing my attention! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteReally nice to see different mediums and yet your are still retaining your individual style! nice one
ReplyDeleteI found a skull like that, thought at the time it might make a nice garden ornament, realized the it make the neighbours think I was psycho so I stashed in the shed. Looks like I might have a use for it after all.
ReplyDeleteFinally, get to see your college work. All that creative stretching is good, isn't it!
This is very cool! You are so talented my friend :) I love the colors of the second picture. Very nice!
ReplyDeletejennifer skulls are really interesting. shame a lot of people just focus on the morbid aspect of them :/
