Gig Poster - Art Nouveau

11/3/2021

0 Comments

 
After doing the previous gig poster shown below, I realised I wasn't really interested in it, and found it kind of boring. Since I have recently been quite interested in Art Nouveau, and the work of Mucha, I decided to make my poster more in line with this art movement. To start I looked at image such as the ones below and tried to draw a woman sort of in the same style.

With this drawing i tried to emulate the works above, by drawing the hair in a similar style, and a pose that you might possibly see in one of Mucha's pieces. However, I added a jacket to the drawing, as the band name I received was Anxiety Jacket, and the idea was the jacket would protect the wearer from anxiety.
Picture
For this drawing I was trying to get a stronger feeling of Art Nouveau, by having the woman tall and elegant, in a flowing dress, and long curling hair. The idea for this one is the same as the one above, however instead of drawing in this protective jacket, I was going to use my photoshop skills to edit in a jacket.

Portraits in paint

10/12/2021

My watercolour self portrait is not yet finished as it would do with some more layers, however I think so far it is alright, it definitely could be better. I tried to make my work look similar to that of John Singer Sargent, as i do love his detailed faces and the way he uses colour. The painting I'm trying to imitate has a beautiful dark background with these vibrant blue and greens that pop out through the darkness. I don't believe I have captured the same background as the watercolour is pigmented enough to have that same pop.

Mask

The mask I chose to make to show the essence of me, is a moon with a face. This is because I'd say that I am a night time kind of person, and if I don't need to get up earlier, will stay up late until the early morning when the moon is still in the sky. I also gave the face dark circles as I am told I have noticeable circles which is probably because I'm tired from being up like the moon all night.

Found things - Cats and Dogs

Cat 

Personally I don't know many cats but do like them, so decided to base this one off my friends cat called Basil. Basil is known for being quite silly which my friend believes is due to the fact he is a pure breed. I find the fact that his eyes seem to point in opposite directions from each other quite funny, so with this sculpture I wanted to exaggerate the size of the eyes, and the fact they look in the opposite direction of each other. Even though Basil has all of his legs my cat seems to have misplaced one of his, which I have decided is just part of his story, as he isn't actually my friends cat.

When photographing my cat I didn't just want a picture like the one above, I wanted to put it in a place that you might actually find a cat. From what I know about other peoples cats, I'm aware that they like to spend their time on window sills watching the outside world. As you can see my cat is able to look out the window and at the ceiling at the same time.
