precious digital paint style graffiti

This is a digital style graffiti piece of my friend Precious. I took a more organic approach and I tried to make sure that there is a main colour that remains vibrant throughout and that is brown. It almost gives an African vibe to it. This is what I want to be implementing in my main piece.

ALL TILES AND ALL DRAWINGS OF MY FRIENDS AND I

My Drawing of me

This is a drawing of me and I used the same tactics that I used as drawing all of my friends and I focused on the slightest detailed such as the strands of hair on my chin and my hair in my upper lip. I also tried to shade it in order for it to appear more 3D rather than a flat piece and I put the shadow on my neck as well. This is one of my favourite ones

Phillip Drawing

This is a more experimental version of my drawings from illustrator as I tried to use colour in this. My use of colour was determined by the different colours and shading that I saw from the picture. I used different shades of brown,red and pink in order to create this effect. I used peach on the parts that were lighter opposed to a dark or light brown on parts in the picture that were darker. I used pink and white to give that glowing effect on the lips. I was impressed with how this turned out

Vaanda Drawing

This is a drawing of my friend vaanda where I used a tighter cursor to outline fine details such as the eyelashes and eyebrows. I also managed to get thin strands of hair using this type of pen and I used my usual general shading.

Betty Drawing

This is a drawing of my friend Betty and I had used the same tactic that I used in my drawing of precious. I have also tried to get the curly elements of her hair.

Diaz Drawing

This is a drawing that I have done on my friend Diaz and I was more experimental with the different shades of grey that I used. I tried shading the parts of the drawings that were darker in a black or really dark grey in order to get the same effect in the picture. I also used darker to lighter greys in a gradual method for some parts to appear blended or faded.

Precious drawing

This is a drawing of one of my friends that I created using Adobe illustrator and I used basic outlines whereby I took the pen and traced the main elements of the photo. The reason I did this is because drawings of my friends are what strongly adheres to me as this project is meant to represent my interests

Mbappe Black and White digital drawing

This is a digital drawing of one of my favourite football player's Head. This was done on adobe illustrator again and I shaded the darkest parts extremely dark with a black. And I did not use any greys. This is a purely black and white drawing.

Ronaldo Second Drawing

This is a digital Drawing I made of Cristiano Ronaldo and I slightly changed my tactic of outlining the parts that are shaded more heavily. This time wherever it was darker I would use dotted lines instead of darkening the area with a wider space. This is evident especially around the nose area

Cristiano Ronaldo Drawing

This is my drawing of another one of my favourite football players Cristiano Ronaldo and this was done in black and white on illustrator following the same method I used with the Mbappe drawing

Playboi Carti Digital Drawing

This is my first attempt at a digital drawing on adobe illustrator and I have chosen to draw my favourite rapper/musician again Playboi Carti and this was done by outlining all the main parts of the picture and shading the darker parts vigorously. I also tried to capture every single detail of this outfit from the chain to the lines on the jean jacket.

picture of the outside

Here is a simple picture that I took of the outside that I will implement and use alot in alot of my photoshop edits.

Young Me

This is a picture of me when I was young and I've edited it on photoshop to look grundger and older basically representing what an old school picture would look like.

African texture drawing

This is a small A5 piece that I've done to show the African Texture art and how I've implemented it in my own way. I've been making drawings like this throughout my whole life and I have just decided to create a piece out of it. It took 2 hours. I would like to use this to enhance texture on some of my future drawings.

digital edit london

This is a picture of my creating a digital media editor of me in London and creating a photo as if this is a printed picture itself over graffiti painted walls. This was my first digital piece for my project. I tried to mimic a picture on the wall. I used a thickened white border to give it this photo effect and i would want to see what I can do with this in future pieces

Spray Painting Through Custom Stencils

This is my first attempt at creating a graffiti style edit using the spray painting tactic and it did not go as planned. With this experience I reverted to something more in the digital column. This happened through creating cut outs and stencils from my previous drawings and spray painting through those.

Spraying paint into stencils

This was my first time using different materials other than  a pencil and paper to create some art work

This was a spray painting kind of tactic and I tried spray painting some letters on a cut out to create something that looked like a branding font with letters in my name. I am happy with how it turned out

The London view

This was an oil pastelled drawing that I created in order to increase the scale of my pencil drawings and this was to show that I could create art on a bigger scale.

Graffiti drawing

This is one of my first graffiti style drawings where I simply implemented stuff that interests me such as the drawing of cartoons, the playstation controller, the cartooned version of my favourite rapper and more. These drawings all have a direct correlation to my interests and if I am doing grafiti style art this would be one of the best ways to start out 

Graffiti Abstract Art Ideas

These are fantastic graffiti abstract type if art ideas which I took from a book in class that has alot of focus on African art. This inspired me for my future work.

The way the colours work in correlation with each other will be something I will try to implement in my graffiti style of art.
