At first, I would like to divide my sketches into two groups.
Group one is the part I created without using silhouettes; directly from the
given objects. It was quite difficult, because I had to see something
new in obvious things. It's hard not to see a shoe while looking at one;
brain needs some time to start thinking differently.
Here is what I managed to create :
Some of them are rough sketches, some more detailes pieces. My personal favs are numbers 17, 13 and 6.
I might also say that numbers are in chronological order and it's quite visible how the ideas transform (at least for me it is, hehe~).
Group two is the part of sketches created with help and use of silhouettes:
The total amount of sketches I managed to create is 41. I fear that I'm not able to go any further with this task, as I'm having a really rough time with all my duties and "moving out" issues.
Also creating turnarounds and more detailes projects seems to be impossible. It is a shame I cannot complete the very first task but it can't be helped.
these are looking great, samantha! i know what you mean when you say "its hard not to see a shoe whilst looking at one". its all about pushing past the obvious to find something you'd normally never associate with the object. maybe thinking about the object in a different role might help? for example, a shoe may not be treated as footwear at all in some crazy, parallel world.
ReplyDeleteits nice to see you've been experimenting with both biological and mechanical creations too. personally, when i made an attempt at this project, i found it incredibly hard to see anything but very mechanized and industrial creations.
i absolutely love number 8, by the way. very Escher!
keep up the good work and i hope you manage to sort out your accommodation issues soon. good luck!
some GORGEOUS drawing here, Samantha - such delicacy and expressiveness. I love 26 - he/she/it looks a bit sad somehow; 32 - creepy! And I like the 'flea-like' drawings 30/29. I was excited to see this, so I look forward to seeing the selection of the final 3... :)
ReplyDeleteThese drawings are WICKED. I like no.7, very abstract and out of this world not to mention a great depth of shading. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the work you produce!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for following my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat exploratory drawings here, I like how you deconstruct and rebuild the pieces together.
any questions just drop a line.
Your drawing style reminds me very much of Victor Ambrus, fantastic pencil work: http://www.victorambrus.com/Home.html
