Sketchbook roundup

[amberdreams]

It's been a while... and I've missed a few weeks of classes due to holidays.

Last week we were doing accumulation of layers, so we were supposed to experiment with collage, layers of paint, different surfaces and suchlike. Steve the tutor calls it akoomoolation. His accent slays me!
The white is actually correction fluid which was very runny and hard to control. I kind of liked the little fish though (gouache and Micron fine liner)


This week was about patterns and repetition, and you never know, I might even get round to finishing this one off sometime too. The owl is biro and the tree is done with the Micron 0.45mm fine liner.


This isn't from our class, it's a teaser for something yet to come...


And as a reward for sticking with me, I found an unattributed gif which is hilarious - kudos to whoever made it! LOL!

Oooh!! I really love that first one! The layerings you introduced to the piece work so well. O____O I really, really love that. Would love to see more, if that's a style you enjoyed playing with!

I wouldn't go as far as saying I enjoyed it...but I might enjoy it if I got more used to playing with it... I have another page with some brown paper and torn up book (meep!) so that is sitting there waiting for something to be done to it at some point. I felt obliged to read those torn pages before sticking them down to make up for the fact my art teacher had vandalised a BOOK!
