MANDALAS


Hey guys! So we started Illustrator this past week in DMA 1 and we were given the task of creating a kaleidoscope. When I started mine, Mrs. Barnes asked me what my theme was, and I said I was just going with the flow. After creating the center of it I realized it was beginning to look like a mandala so here are the pictures that I looked up for the inspiration of my piece! 




And here's mine!

  1. Josh, I love all the work you do, but I especially love the intricacy and the small details in this piece. All the colors work cohesively and the pattern is complicated but not hard to look at. Good job :)

  2. I love your use of gradients here, it gives it depth. Your color scheme works well too, and I like the white stroke.

  3. I think you really have an eye for intricate detail. Not to sound too T-Hicks, but you almost have to focus your mind to notice all the detail in the mandala; it's very beautiful.

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.

Speed Painting

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

 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/
