Magazine Cover Project finale: My design of AMy Winehouse for Rolling Stones.

Tough choice... but the best cover design according to my Concept and Technique teacher was this one!  So here is my cover!

 Next project design is a product illustration....let's think about that now!:)

Amy Winehouse 

from my sketchbook

Next step on this Amy's project is choosing one out of the many drawings and make a cover for the Rolling Stones Magazine with it.

But first I ll enjoy a nice back to oil painting week!! :)

On card board: You know I' m no good.

I liked the effect ink and white on toned paper from the other day drawing. But Then I didnt want to risk putting the white on my real paper ( just in case it would ruin it!) so some digital layers made the trick for me.

Today I thought I might as well try to draw Amy on piece of card board then, why not?

Here it is!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Amy, black ink and a touch of red.

The foot is healing and the energies are coming back :)
This was a very creative day indeed !
I managed to do three more version of Amy and I have realized I could go on for ever but is time to change project and maybe also to change playlist !!

Posting them once a day for the next three days, enjoy it!

Have  nice Saturday everyone!

Once again ...experimenting with AMY WINEHOUSE! On toned paper.

Ink and digital.

Today I woke up in a Amy Winehouse mood. Which means listening to RDIO  Amy's station and drawing her all day long. Experimenting again with different technique till I don't find my favorite.

I really love working with black ink pen (Micron is my favorite brand).

Simple black ink on toned paper with a touch of white can have such a powerful effect! Amazing :)

At first I drew Amy, white gel ink and black pen ink on toned paper:

Then I imported the photo into Illustrator and added a final digital touch:

If you are wondering about my foot it is getting better! That is actually the best news of today:) 

Underworld, work in progress.

Same beautiful weather outside, same bad foot for me. Nothing has changed....
Today I worked a little bit with Illustrator on the Underworld illustration I started few weeks ago
See the previous work here:

Maybe I need to rethink few things...!!! It happens :) art is created on the go! :)

For now here it is:

Portrait assignment, Andrew.

Hello friends!
Apologies for not posting anything at all in last week but I spent most of my time lying on the couch or on the bed with my left foot up  :(
I have been suffering a bad bacterial infection, thankfully is slowly getting better and hopefully I ll be able to put my foot down by the weekend.

Health aside everything else is good :)
The weather has been totally amazing, sunny and around 20C ( which make my not moving situation even more annoying!!) For once I would be happy with rain and fog. But I just checked the weather forecast...no signs of rain ahead!


For my head drawing class of today I was meant to draw to the portrait of one of my classmate.

Here is Andrew.

And my very peculiar drawing position....

I normally draw or paint standing.
I love to be able to walk around my easel, check the work from far away, then again from closer....basically I like to move around the piece.

I have to admit it took me some time to get used to the sitting position...but no choice there!:) Cant' wait to be able to stand again!

A friend just texted me from class, someone has drew me :)
