Starting a new!

So it's pretty obvious I don't update this blog anywhere near as often as I should, and it's not a very organized portfolio. I initially started this blog for my first year of tafe just because it was a requirement and didn't really put a whole lot of care into it. I said I would keep updating and I still will, just not very frequently. In truth, this blog may fade out, (however I still own all copyright to all the art posted on hear!) but I will try my hand at Tumblr to continue posting my art online.

Tumblr seems to be a better place for artists to post their work for viewing by the public and to maintain a portfolio/gallery better than a blog website. Let's face it, blogger is for people to rant and post opinions, not art..not really. Now, I shall end my post and go on a quest to figure out how in the heck Tumblr actually works. Once figured out, I will eventually post a link here to my new art page. (Art still to come as well, just not as often as it should).

Finally after a year of school work I managed to just sit down and do some personal drawing. It was a nice break from painting. Tafe work to be uploaded soon.  

Watercolour Work in Progress

Thought I might add an update since it's been a while. Fully completed works coming soon. (Hopefully)

Painting Progress; 'The Maiden and the Selkie'

My previous school project of 'Labyrinth' isn't finished but we had to switch to a new project. This one is based on the song 'The Maiden and the Selkie' by Heather Dale. There's still a lot to do but I just like looking at the progress of her face. This is a comparison of the first day spent painting it and todays 'redo'.


 

Signing artwork.

I always get confused as to how I should sign my artwork. For some things I put my signature, others like paintings (on canvas or board) I write out my full name, and for a series of small illustrations I'm currently doing I write  only my first initial and my last name in full. I never know if there's a correct way to sign art. Are you meant to stick to just one signature or are you able to write it however you like? Hmm...

Forest Guardian

'Forest Guardian'

Photoshop CS5

Some comic/illustrative work. It's nice to take a break from the 'fine art' side of things and just do something you really enjoy. Not to say I don't love painting. I think I need to add something to this still. But I'm happy with the outcome.
