Happy Halloweeeeeeen! (*,.,*)

Its currently Monday 31st of October 2011, which means its Halloween!! One of THE scariest days of the year! Excluding the days i see my nan of course!! anyway as our theme is produce i thought I'd give it a little Halloween twist to it and draw a pumpkin in the style of Julian Opie!! Smart? i know!! please no applause... Here is my image.

WHATS UP WITH FASHION!!??

Trying to find fruit inspired fashion is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!! Very difficult! Although I did find one, a famous singer wore a fruit inspired dress for her Grammy award and her name is Katy Perry! Along side Lady Gaga's kooky dress sense Katy Perry likes to stand out in the crowd by wearing carousel dresses and fruit dresses, this is an image of her dress below!!

who thought a leaf could be so cute!?

TAADAAAAA!!! :D here is the finished image i created while i was using illustrator, i think the outcome is very possitive and i like how it came out because this shows the skills that i have gained using tutorials.

cute little leaf :D.... Part 5!!

These are my final screenshots on creating the final shape,  there was a few difficult parts in the drawing to overcome but i did it in the end. Here are my screenshots...

cute little leaf :D.... Part 4!!

In these screen shots i created the stem of the leaf by drawing a line, expanding it, and then outlining the line.

 In my next blog i will be learning how to get rid of unwanted lines and also make some lines a little more dynamic.

cute little leaf :D.... Part 3!!

In these screen shots i have created the mouth of the leaf! :)

the japanese kimono

Here are a few modelling photos of me in a kimono, the kimono is a traditional piece of Japanese clothing. the kimono is my favorite outfit along side the Chinese dresses, this kimono was a males version of the kimono.

mexican day of the dead!!

I like to create little projects for myself. I remember that last year we looked at sugar skulls in the taster day lecture, so as a challenge I painted my cousins face in the summer holidays with my aunties new face paints as a sugar skull from an image I found on Google.
The image below is the image I found on the internet.

The images below are photographs of my cousin who was my model.

the rest of the images have been altered and edited on digital programs.

cute little leaf :D.... Part 2!!

 In these screen shots i learnt how to create an ellipse for the eyes of the leaf, warping the circle shape and also deleting lines.

These are a few screenshots of some tutorials i followed to help me use illustrator. I found this really helpful as there were a few things in illustrator i didn't know, although i knew quite a lot anyway this was a confidence boost. In these screen shots it shows how to reflect yours drawings and create one whole shape.

 The screenshot below shows the tool highlighted a darker grey. This was the tool i used to reflect half the leaf shape.

 Here i still have the line from the reflection i got rid of this to make it a whole shape.
