My sketchbook #1




Double page filled with art history (Esher, De chirico, Rene magritte)

This is a biro drawing I did, Inspired by the structural lines and edges of De chirico, but I incorporated a hand inspired by Esher to give the drawing a softer more detailed appearance.


   These are a few photos i took of a rams head, a pair of plyers, a skull scarf and a human skelton hand, I placed all these items into a bowl. I think this express reconstruction, i then altered and adjusted these images on Paint shop pro.          


I painted this rams head after taken the pictures of the rams head and items in a bowl, however i replaced the horns with fingers to add some surrealisim inspired by Renne.

            After drawing the fingers in the rams head, i became more interested in the human hand the and the detail of the fine lines and how the can express emotion. The detail in this drawing is inspired by esher.
I then played around  photocopies of my hand and and others to create a Collage.

I then drew a picture of a skull and with the detail of eshers hand, but after i decided the skull needed more expression so incorparated a couple of esher hands to give the skull a puzzled expression.

This is a surrealistic compliation piece i created by using some of rennes art and cutting and swapping it to create an orignal surrealistic piece.



This is a painted I did of a homeless man, i decided to use a newspaper about economical topics to back up my painting and give it more of an impact.





This is just an etching I did of the pencil drawing i previously did, i like this etching as it really captures the detail.
