THE COCKEREL.

ive been doing this so long now.. so glad to finally finish it so i can get rid of it :D i'll have a lot more space in my room again!! (sorry about the rubbish quality, blame my phone.)

Final final piece

This is my last, final final piece i did for art a-levels. I'm pretty chuffed with it, and it was fun to do, and i love painting birds and eyes, so best of both worlds really :) there's still a lot on it i'd change though! Im such a perfectionist, its annoying.

Eyes!!

I LOVE drawing eyes, if i'm bored, eyes are the things i draw. Therefore ive had a lot of practice, after going to school and college!! ;) So, these are a few studies of eyes ive done. Hope you like them :)

In the style of Alex Box.

Alex Box is an experimental make-up artist, who combines make-up with photography to create brilliant pieces. I love her work! She works along with an amazing photographer (I forget his name). These are a couple of bits I did for art and photography when I looked at Alex Box. All of these are done by working on top of photos.

These ones were a lot of fun to do and I used a lot of different materials to achieve this.  


This is the image by Alex Box that I took inspiration from.

I really like this one, it took me a whole day of solid working to finish it! It was well worth it though. I used fine-liners and markers to draw onto the photo.


Pencil Portraits.

These are a few pencil drawings from my sketchbooks. :)
