2D Illustration: (still need to finish...)


Abstract sound paintings:
We listened to two pieces of music (unfortunately, i can't remember them) and did different artworks in reference to the "flow" of the music.























Sound:

Well...

Where to start with this topic.

There was the problem with the computars when Garageband wouldn't work.

Then there were the times when Audition wouldn't work because of:

"Computar disk is full. Please remove some files before continuing."

MY COMPUTAR WAS EMPTY!!!

So...this was the final produce of my sound part of the project: 

"Story for a blind man".




I just need to edit it a bit more, as long as audition dosen't act like a jerk... T_T;


And since Audition wouldn't work, I guess I'll just explain the sounds...

1-door opening and closing
2-steps/walking
3-chatting, people talking in the backgroud
4-doors
5-trucks/cars
6-traffic lights
7-more people talking
8-more walking
9-more steps
10- repeat 1, end


Animation:

I did a practice animation for the first lesson, which was my mascot going from one side of the frame to the other. I did have an idea for the main animation, but then, I realised that it would take to long to make, especially when there's all of the drawing, the designing and... the patience.

So I've decided to make my mascot animation my actual final project for animation.

Here's some screenshots:












Here is the animation:

Dave McKean:

Dave McKean is a digital illustrator, photographer, author and artist who uses surrealism as the main substance in his pictures.
He had worked on the Arkham Asylam (Batman) comic and also well known book illustrations, such as Varjak Paw, Varjak Paw: The Outsider, Sandman, Coraline and published his own book filled with his comics and stories: Things That Tick.

"Coraline" Book cover
"King"
"Varjak Paw" Book cover

I really like McKean because I love how he uses mixed media in his work, as well as digital techniques.

And I really like his creepy artwork, mainly because I love creepy stuff (hard to believe it, I do...) and I love surrealism and scary artwork that makes most people grossed out.

Maurice Sendak:

Maurice Sendak was an illustrator for children's books and an author, as he had written "Where the Wild Things are".



I really like these illustrations, because they maybe for children, but they still look very surreal.

Quentin Blake:

Quentin Blake is a well-known children's book writer and illustrator, as he has illustrated the majority of Roald Dahl's most famous books (eg: The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The Twits, etc...).


I really like these pictures, because they're very bright and colourful and they are well illustrated and Blake has really brought the character to life.


My three-imaged pictures:


"Magic"

"Pet Ballaglass"

"Little Boy Ghost"
Wondering where the ghost is?
Can you see him?


Can you see him now?


Typography practice:

I took a really long time to do this... actually, it took me ONE. WHOLE. LESSON. Thanks to Steve helping me! Thank you!


I chose this size, just so that you can see it clearer.

(note: SCREENSHOTS!!!)

Magazine spread:
