FMP week 8

Tuesday:
Tuesday morning I had my cover mock ups printed out along with my reference photographs of me growing up to stick in my book to show what I'm working from. I then drew my first cover mock up working in the style of Bruce Timm, took my board and another piece of stretched paper to work on my second cover in the style of Frank Miller at home.

Wednesday:
In the morning I was upstairs drawing my third cover but due to other commitments involving helping one of my class mates in his photography project so we missed graphics unfortunately but made it back in time for Art History where we discussed the positives and negatives of Abstract and Traditional art.

#3 Dave McKean Pencils

Friday:
Friday morning I was painting my third cover in the style of Dave Mckean by incorporating collage into my work and painting more expressively.
In the afternoon I was sketching out my fourth cover which I finished sketching at the weekend and my next step with it is painting.

FMP week 7

Tuesday:
Tuesday I coloured my Mignola style and Miller style drawings with the miller one being edited on photoshop to fully utilize the use of black and white print to reflect the style of art he did in Sin City.
The pictures for this were uploaded in last weeks post.

Wednesday:
In the morning I created 4 comic cover mockups in Photoshop using the photographs I scanned in showing different stages of my life, I will then use the mock ups to sketch and paint on the paper I also stretched on Wednesday morning.
In graphics I continued working on a title card for my comic covers and my results can be seen on my other blog here http://luketomlinsonfmpbiography.blogspot.co.uk/
In Art History we discussed abstract work of art and how expression was used through brush strokes and colour blocks.

Friday:
On Friday in the morning I took two sets of photographs showing stages of me coming into college to represent my first day and a set showing me working on my FMP, I then took the photos into graphics and created my final 2 mock ups. I finished the day by finishing off my artist research.
I will upload the pictures of my mock ups either Tuesday or Wednesday and I plan to get to work on my final pieces all this week.

FMP week 6

Tuesday:
On Tuesday I painted a self portrait of mine in the style of Jack Kirby using predominantly flat bright colors. I also finished off my Bruce Timm style piece by painting onto an acetate trace of my portrait and painting a background onto black paper before layering the acetate over the background.

Wednesday:

In the morning I went to the mac room to finish off some research for my final couple of portraits looking at the art of Frank Miller, Mike Mignola and Skottie Young.

In graphics I looked at the title cards used in comicbooks, planned how to make one for next lesson and I plotted out my template guides for my comic covers.

In Art History we discussed our painting critical analysis with the class.

Friday:

On Friday I produced 2 self portraits in the styles of Frank Miller (basing my work on his art style used in his Sin City books) and Mike Mignola focusing on the geometry involved in his work.

Today I finished by colouring the two, paints with Miller, pencils with Mignola and then edited the Miller one in photoshop to test how it would work.
