Thanks artieanna. As regards what branch of art I’m interested in I’d have to say everything. I guess I was a lot more involved in the graphic end of things last year what with working in 3D.nice work;) Just wondering what branch of art are you interested in graphic, portraiture, painting or other?
There are two areas which I’d be more focused on at the moment though. The first is painting, something which I’ve never been very good at. In fact yesterday was the first time I painted since my Leaving Cert art class nearly five years ago. Before I started painting this time (in oils) I sat down and read a bit on the internet about how artists who produce painting along the photo-realistic line of things do it. Seems like it involves quite a bit of patience waiting for different glazes (a new word for me
) to dry and building things up slowly to get a decent result.
The second area I’m interested in at the moment would be tattoos! I’m gonna buy a tattoo gun and some practice skins soon when my bank balance looks a bit better. I’d love to think I could be one of those tattoo artists that can do quality portraits on people! Not many around, especially in Ireland, that I know of that do it well.
Thanks Ikky Poo2. I have done some life drawing in the past in college (teacher wasn’t really great in my opinion). I remember at the time though she mentioned that Trinity College have kind of a walk in life drawing thing on Wednesday or Thursday evenings. Something like that would be perfect for me. Any ideas of anything like that in town?Ikky Poo2 wrote:Some of the others look a bit mechanical - ever think of life drawing?

Thanks man
The life drawing I do is at the United Arts club. Fitzwillaim St 2 hours, 10 euro Wed 8, Thurs 6, pay per class on the night. Trinity does something similar, but I don;t know when.Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

I've let myself down a good bit in the ol drawing department over the last month or so just trying to get back into it again and be alot more productive for June!
It's mental how not doing much drawing for a month can really make you rusty.
This picture of Dougal took me alot longer than it should have and I'm not completely happy with it at all but again, just something to get back into things.

Captured the expression very well! Strill think you should try some life drawing though - worked wonders for me...

By the way, congrats on the Dougal pic, love the way you captured the expression, nice tones. If I may, I think the outline on your self portrait and the frog shouldnt be continuosly black, on the areas where the subject is high lighted the outline should be softer. The continious black outline flattens it down onto the page more and takes away from the illusion of it being 3D
Thanks for the feedback. The black outline thing isn't something I usually do and I'm well aware of the fact that nothing in real life has big black outlines around it. It's just something I did for those two sketches to make them more 'graphicy' or something
I really want to do some drawing today but once again drinking copious amounts of gargle looks like it's going to get in the way of that0 -

Latest work in progress. I only recently noticed something looking slightly wonky though - the front wing looks higher on the left than the right, above where it says "Shell". Ill have to redo that. Overall though, Im pretty happy so far with it.
Im mixing in a little blue with the white and black for the tires. I think it looks better.0 -

I love your colours and I particularly like the drawing from the second page. My only critique would be that the drawings aren't done from life. I know portfolio requirements are different now but I think they still like in depth studies of things, and if it's something that you can sit in front of you on the desk even better.
You could always get something from the butcher if you want to draw ribs and the inside of bodies. I know someone who did that and painted the carcus as it rotted over months for her final project in NCAD (about 15 years ago so the tutors aren't likely to accuse you of copying. She did well I think. (I lived with a succession of dead trout for 6 months in LCAD- very smelly, and I'm vegetarian)

Thanks for your advice It's funny that you would mention the fish because that's what I've been drawing this week. Here is some more recent stuff...sorry for the bad quality, they are from my phone

The fish is great and I really love your use of colour on the page. The colleges will love the collage stuff, use of different materials is always a bonus and the second hand is nice but the drawing is let down a bit by the contrast of the hand which is excellent and the remainder which is a lot more sketchy. On the other hand if this is a study or sketchbook idea rather than a finished piece, it's excellent0 -

I have to agree, your use of colour is great and it's good you're writing little details on each piece. This is good for your portfolio.0 -
