Life drawing - session 2

Life drawing - session 2

Daisy Jackson / 15/03/2022

Today was our second session for life drawing where we focused on shadows and colour. For this session, I used a range of soft pastels as well as mixing this with my fine liner brush pen - a great combo! 

I enjoyed today's session more than the previous (01/03/2022) as I felt like there was more to draw. I do not like focusing purely on shadows as you are more focused on bold outlines which I found quite boring. Focusing on shadows in a variety of ways in general life drawing is definitely more interesting and experimental. 

I definitely love the inclusion of props in both sessions however. This has made everything more interesting and makes you think more deeply about what you are doing!

Here is my work from today:










Steve said my work reminded me of an artist named Lucy Truman who has been creating fashion based art for years. I can definitely see where he is coming from as I have noticed how she creates bold outlines which is then faintly filled in with colour.

Here is her work:

One day projects - week 2 - 'Happy Birthday' Daisy Jackson / 31/01/2022 For today's one day task, David assigned us the mini project of creating a 4 panel story involving the song 'Happy Birthday'. In comparison to last week, my creative thinking has definitely improved as more ideas rushed to my head during the brief. Here are my plans: Despite how morbid a lot of these ideas are, I find them quite comical as the characters themselves are very strange. I have always loved my lumpy style and wanted to encoorperate it into a few ideas. A lot of these ideas involved characters being crushed and the other character being left horrified. That is when I came up with my official idea of fruit in a blender. Unfortunately, these two pieces of fruit had no idea what was going to happen. I decided to create the final piece digitally as I felt I could have a lot of fun with this and test out my skills. Often, I usually draw in simple colours. However, with this piece I wanted ...

Creating my storyboard

Creating my storyboard  Daisy Jackson / 18/03/022 Today I decided to brainstorm ideas for a storyboard. This storyboard would be contributing to my introduction to animation module so I had to make sure I understood the concept and the idea I was going for. Originally, my idea was going to be a more scenic animation - focusing on the surroundings and then narrating the death of Marie Curie’s husband Pierre. However, I decided to have a different approach to this idea. The idea below is my original storyboard:                                                              I decided not to go with this idea as it was too bland for me. Yes, the angles were interesting and narrated the story in a dramatic and cinematic way but it was lacking some kind of substance.  During yesterday’s animation session (17/03/2022), Matt wanted us...
