To finish off my image, I framed it to clean it up. I think that I am getting better at landscapes. I am getting quicker and learn more every time I paint one. I am happy with this image I think it is a simple but effective image.

I then started painting the mountains around, trying to keep a very cooled and deserted feeling.

I began by painting the sky with cool colours and rays of light shining down.

This is another of my own landscape. I had planed this image better then the last that I had done. For this image I want to paint a landscape that was somewhere very cold and mountainous.

This is the finished piece. I got very stuck on what to paint after I had finished the sky. I think in future I need to plan the painting more.

Besides that I am happy with it and will use that cloud brush again.

I then painted in the distance a small island.

I tried out my own landscape piece. Using a cloud brush on Photoshop, I painted this sky. I was rely pleased with the image at this point and was happy with the realism of the it.

I am very happy with my outcome. I worked hard to keep it as close as possible to the original. It is a very colourful image which made the task harder, but despite that I rely enjoyed it and learnt a lot.

Then finely, I painted the man and the smaller details that I had mist.

Then I painted in the mountains sounding the image.

I thought the best way to go about painting this image, was to start it as you would on your own painting.  So I started with the background and painted the  sky.

I then sketched a quick study of the painting, so that I new the placement of key objects.

I first set my screen out like this, so that I could work with the image that I needed to paint.

For the next few weeks we have been given personal tutorials and tasks to do. I have been asked to copy this painting as best I can.

Night crawler

I then thicken the black line and defined the image more. I like the action pose that I finalized the image in. I am very happy with the outcome. I decided to keep the image in black and white. I felt the image stands out without colour and holds shape.

Night crawler

I then choose my three favourite and sketched out there muscle tone.

Seeing as this brief was all about interesting poses I decided to start silhouetting some ideas. I rely enjoyed this process, I wanted to continue but I had to stop due to managing the time I had on this piece. I tried to keep the character of night crawler with in the silhouette. I think I managed to draw good varieties of different poses for me to choose from.

This week we were asked come up with an interesting pose for the marvel character Night crawler.

These are the reference images I used for my work. I found inspiration in not only night crawler images, but other comic characters in acrobatic poses.

Darrken Tutorial

These are my images compared with Darrken’s images. I think I did well and managed to keep a resemblance.

Darrken tutorial

Here is my finished piece. I rely liked this tutorial. I tried to keep to the time constraints that Darrken did. The reason I did this is to try and push the speed of my painting ability, seeing as that is what the tutorial was all about.

This is my process to my Darrken tutorial.

Bobby Chiu tutorial

This is my final piece. I thought that the tutorial was very good, and had a lot of good techniques. What I have learnt I will use in agen. 

This is the section of the painting that I chose. I felt this section had a nice variety of different textures and objects. 

This week we were asked to follow a tutorial by Bobby Chiu. Once we had watched the tutorial video. We had to choose a section of the painting and follow the steps.

Robot

 I am pleased with my final out come. I like the position that I painted it in with the view looking up at the robot. I do feel that it is slightly lacing in character though. I think that could be down to the fact that it does not have a face.

 I then made a silhouette­­ of its body shape to work from. I was quite pleased with it at this point, I worked quite hard with the perspective getting it right.

I began with a random chest shape and worked from it making light and shade. 

I took one of them farther, but then felt it was not quite what I wonted to do for my final image.

I started my robot brief by silhouetting some quick ideas for robots.

ROBOTS

On this mood board I was mainly inspired by the top right images and bottom left image. I rely like the quick messy style they are in and I would like to try and achieve a similar effect.

Surreal

I am pleased with the final out come. I like the style I used to paint it. I am happy that I went back to my original idea. I think it had more potential than I originally realized.

I went back to my Bone nana idea, and decided to try paint the image realistically.

I found these images of a peeled banana and of a human bone on the Internet. I used these as reference pictures to paint my Bone nana.

After getting to this stage of the image, I was not happy with it, and decided to start something different.

 For this image I was very unsure what to do. So I came up with the strange idea of a bear on a child’s bike flying.

Here is a quick image I painted. The idea behind it is that the word banana, when pronounced can sound like bone nana. I thought this would make an interesting surreal image.
