Contour Lines

In AP, we recently did a project revolved around using contour lines to define the edges of an object in a photo. Most of us used a watercolor brush to color the photo and we revealed parts of the original photo as well as hid other parts. I love this style because it has the potential to look great and it's relatively easy to do. This photo above is just one example of the technique. If you are interested in the technique you can research it but it's hard to find online since most "contour line drawings" are on paper, it's a similar technique but the element of color is usually left out. I might end up using this technique in my concentration.

  2. I really like the technique in this photo, how the artist made it more detailed in one area rather than the whole portrait.

Last Blog Post

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/
