This was a project in my Fundamentals of Design class that consisted of four drawings or illustrations. We had to work within the confines of choosing an animal and each drawing was to stay in the original form of the animal. I chose an Angler Fish, mainly for it's shock value and interesting form. Please be aware that these are not-so-great photographs of a not-so-great photocopy. The original piece is on display at the school.
The first drawing is a form study executed in graphite on Bristol board.
The second is a concept drawing in graphite on Bristol board. The idea is to link the creature with another object or animal, or in this case, plant. For instance, I chose a Venus flytrap because of the resemblance of teeth and it's similar nature as a predator.
The third drawing was to be a logo and the fourth was a gesture drawing. The logo was done with a very fine brush and India ink on Bristol board. I'm not all that fond of the completed piece. The gesture drawing was created with a shark's tooth and seashell dipped in India Ink on tracing paper and then pasted to Bristol board.
Hmmm, I am putting an image in a post for the first time ... let us see if this works ...
These are all scans of the slides from my portfolio - the artwork is all mostly too large to be scanned and I don't have a digital camera - so yeah, the quality is shit but you can get an idea.
So glad I saw this thread! Great work in here from everyone!!
hehe... oddly enough SA... #2 is me (when i had a goatee) and #8 is also me (with a full beard). they're both self portraits hehehe. and yes you may ask... the answer lies within.
hehe ok ok... no its because i was just learning russian when i drew this and my comprehension of accents and what not were not 100% accurate at the time (not that they are 100% still or anything hehe). and thank you btw.
wow... I'm impressed by the artists in this thread..
The only artwork that I have photos of are already in my gallery, but here they are again:
Painting that I did for school a few years ago, acrylic on board as are all the paintings in this post:
This is my favourite paintings of the ones I've done the past few years, an autumn fairy:

this was done a night a few years ago.. the pose of the couple embracing is stolen from the cover of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", my favourite book:
"The Sun's Consort""
The idea for this was developed one lazy day at school years ago. I love it :
