For my final piece of unit 1, I had to create 4 different pages of work based of 4 different countries suck as :

Milan,London,New York and Paris.

This was one of the biggest strengths for me as it showed all them in this specific piece.I had to research 8 different illustrators for my project and add them in my work.

I used different styles with the illustrators style included in it and mixing them up together on the other side of the page to show I am capable of not copying work out but creating and visualising it in my head.The final thing I did was to lay them out nicely and add patterns or splatters to the page just to make it more presentable to my pages.

This is a time lapse of my Paris piece with me drawing the Eiffel Tower step by step to create the same outcome as I wanted to show how it was done live with a little snippet video.

This was a met gala piece I had produced in the one given as I could choose what material to use of my choice and the picture model.

I loved this piece as it has different textures added to it.I had to make it accurate to the picture especially the dress.

It got really frustrating at first as I had to draw so many shapes for the dress to create the exact aesthetic look on the model.

I used pencil crayons for this piece as this was one of my biggest strengths.

For this piece I had to sketch out and draw six different figures with the use of different materials such as:

Watercolour,pro markers,pencil crayons,ink,collage and oil pastels.

This was a free style like to find our style of work and find out our favourite material to use and what I need to improve with.

Here was the first step of my first drawing illustration.This was the ink model I had to sketch out carefully and accurately.In the video I gridded my page so I could start my drawing and add the ink in.

This piece is based on the artist Casandra Rodin.Here I used a thick marker to create the smudgy look to make it similar to the artist itself style.

Firstly I had to sketch out the drawing and outline it all. I used watercolours for the hair to create the same texture as she did.

For this piece I had to create three different side profiles but following the instructions step by step.These are called the alien faces.

I loved this piece as this style was very liked and I enjoyed drawing them out.First I had to sketch them all out and present them on a page.Then outlined them all to make them look popping out and be the main piece.

This piece was one of my favourite things to do as I could explore new styles by doing it in different ways.This was a chance to show what i could really do and if I can work against time and what it would look like in the end.

My first picture was an extra figure I did at the start but I didn’t like how the outcome was becoming, so I started doing another drawing that I liked way better tan the first one.

I struggle sometimes with the use of pro markers as I haven’t really gotten used to them yet but I would love to work with them and improve next time.

For this project I had to add and draw the basics of a face to get us used to drawing the facial features and taking us less time to draw them.First I had to sketch out the face to add in the facial features then shade it in slightly do it looks more realistic to the pro picture.

I started a separate page to draw all my facial features out as i thought it looks more presentable for my work and have more room to sketch them out.Along with the presentation this gave me an idea it would look better for my blog.

Here I had to analyse two different drawings and make a background including the clothes for figures.I had done this by using tracing paper to trace the piece of clothing on my model with news paper of my choice to make the right outfit.

I struggled hard to trace my clothes and stick them on the model as it was very fiddly to work with.This was not one of my biggest strengths to work with but i did finish it in time.

For this piece, I had to do it based on the colour wheel and do a mix and match on all three figures.First I had to sketch out the three figures making them similar to the original pictures to represent the ones I had done.

I made a small mistake on the colour theory rule as I had to do three different styles of models so each one is different.But overall,I am proud of this piece as it had boosted my confidence.

Here,I had to lay out and present six figure models by splitting the photos in half and having to draw the other half of it to show out skills that we have.We had to make it i de rival as possible to the photo.Then I had used a fine liner to outline all the details in my six figures that I had displayed out.After,i had to lay it out presentable so my work stands out making it the main focus in this piece of work I produced in the time given.

I struggled a bit at the start with drawing out the figures and the details on it as it was too small for me to see the flowers and patterns on the figure but in the end I managed to sketch them out pretty accurately.

In this piece I had to create 3 different figures in different positions they were posing and sketch them out lightly with a pencil to make them as accurate as possible with the original picture.

To do this I went free hand as I wanted to challenge myself and push myself out of my comfort zone to get used in drawing figures in the future.

This really changed everything and made it easier for me as I was working really well with the time in drawing models.

For this piece,I had to create a figure that was relating to the picture.This was to challenge us and push us out of the comfort zone and get us used to drawing freehand or gridding by following the steps and making the same outcomes in the end.

This really helped and made me think I have improved since the first model I had done.

For this project I had to start with nine circles to create the body size and shapes and try to sketch it in a perfect body shape by using these skills.

To improve my piece of work,I added in a bit of colour and display to kind of set it out better so it looks presentable but also professional.

This piece is called the double up.For this piece,I started by sketching out the gridding for my figure but I had to make it look very similar to the picture along with my model sketched out to show how to do it in this style. After sketching out my figure,I added in the details to make it look accurate as possible.All the boxes had to match with the part of the body to make it the right size to be doubled up

Although my figure did not fit in all the page so I had to cut out a bit of paper and stick it at the bottom for more room.

For my first project,I had to sketch out a figure based on the original picture using the same steps they have used to create an accurate body sketch.This was to get us used to drawing them out quicker and find our own style for the future when working with illustrations.My second step was to use a small piece of tracing paper and trace my sketch.After,I had to extend the bottom half of my figure from the legs down to create the figure 8 look what I was looking for.I did this by doubling the gridding from a 2cm to a 4 cm grid as this helps with extending the legs easier.

Furthermore, i decided to create a display for my figures as it would look more presentable and professional in my work.This would also help me figure out my own style of illustration and how I would set them out on display for pedestrians to have a look at my work and my progress.
