Hi :) In class we are creating a portrait of someone in illustrator, and as I was searching the web I found these series of portraits of famous icons from "back in the day" (From top to bottom: Bette Davis, Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth, and Audrey Hepburn). I really love how the artist used geometric shapes and watercolor to create these beautiful portraits. I also find it interesting that on the last two, the shapes seem to be revolving or shattering around the portrait.

    I really like the colors and the separations of colors. Also the spray of colors.

    The portrait of Hepburn is by far my favorite one of the four. I like the bright colors and the simple pastel background. The way it looks like there are shards of her flying off is really eye catching as well. I love it.

    I love how the artist toke iconic people. I also like how it's using bright colors but still has the contours of their faces.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

By Anonymous
 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
