PRECIOUS IN BANKSY ART STYLE

This is a picture that I digitally manipulated in order to resemble the style of one of the artists that I researched named Banksy. I used a high contrast filter in the sketch tab to make the picture black and white. I used the selection tool to separate the clothes from the body. I wanted to keep the colour on the clothes but not on the body. After all of that I put a wall in the background and added grainy overlay to look more aesthetically pleasing.

 

Hand-stamped Canvas

These are pieces that I created using acrylic paint. I did not use any paint brushes and I simply used my hands. I wet my hands with paint and I stamped colours that correlated with each other for example with the brown painting I used different variations of brown by mixing colours such as brown, brown and yellow, brown and white, brown and black, brown and red. Altogether this created a dirty grundgy effect that I am really impressed

These are pieces that I am going to use prominently in the background of alot of my work.

First Personal Investigation

This is my first personal investigation initially indicating that I was aiming to create work correlating to how culture and life is in Africa. This was mainly going to be for Zimbabwe and Namibia as those were the 2 countries I used to live in. The aim of this project was to give insight and educate people on how life is in Namibia and Zimbabwe. This was also going to contribute to how well people know me more whilst understanding my background. 

The reason I chose this is because this is something I have great knowledge on and it would be a useful project for alot of people around me seeing as it is rare that people know where Namibia is or even if they have even heard of it before.

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
