Crayon Portraits

 

The other night me and my boyfriend drew pictures of each other because we like to do fun things like that, and other fun things such as making jigsaw puzzles and playing backgammon and taking romantic walks in the graveyard and cross stitching and saute cooking and jumping on bouncy castles. Well maybe not the cross stitching.

I like his crayon pink rabbit best.

Its been so long since I used colouring pencils.

I especially like it when they are in rainbow order.

Pictures in the tiles

You know when you're absent-mindedly staring at the wall or carpet or whatever and suddenly you realise there's all these people and animals and faces jumping out at you? Well for my new project I decided to draw the faces I can see in the bathroom tiles. I have actually changed my idea since this morning when I was doing all that but I thought I'd post a few up here anyway.



I really like this little guy ^

The Family Portrait

Its Christmas Eve tomorrow! :) I am so excited! I decorated the tree the other day ON MY OWN. My sister and brother are too lazy to help do it now. It is all red and gold with tinsel and chocolates and stuff on it :D Ive been doing a lot of practicing drawing faces, especially mens face because I find it really hard to draw men's faces so that you can actually tell they are men and not women with short hair.

I tried to draw some pictures of my family but after a while i gave up and traced pictures of them instead so that they have more of a likeness. I am going to give the drawing to my Dad, my Grandad and my Grandma for Christmas.I am the one wearing the cat hood.

I reay admire the illustrators Tony Ditlerizzi and Chris Riddell for the way that they are able to draw such characterful faces.

ALSO i bought some half price pink fluffy fairyights today!

Illustration City!

This was so cool! Some people even made cars and street signs and there was a tramp and a garden with a camp fire and a tent! Looking inside the houses was really fun too.
I especially liked this one^ I don’t know whos it is though so I hope they don’t mind me putting it on here.
I also really liked this one^ because it looed like an actual PROPER miniature apartment. Really realistic with the carpet and the lamp and everything. I THINK it was made by someone called Natalie in 3rd yr but I’m not sure…
Yet again I do not know who made this one ^ but I liked it! The same goes for this one:
Can't remember who did this one either but it is really cute:
I t was a shame that the fairylights in my apartment did not show up because the light was too bright in the room but never mind.

Rob Shadbolt did a kind of leaving speech and said it’s going to be weird for us next year because they probably wont get a replacement for him until the summer so they are going to have to share the tutors round more :S. He also told us to judge our work against the professionals and aim high and to think outside the artschool cos its a small world.

Anyway tomorrow is the last day of term and I am going to go Christmas shopping to take advantage of Norwich and the better shops that are here before I go home on Sunday!
