Set Project: 3D piece proccess - painting

 Today I decided to colour Mr Kite figure.

Before painting straight on the clay, I made sketches with watercolour pencils to verify his clothing. I took the colour palette from the book page that I had made before. 

As you can see in the picture, I made a simple posture overview as he stands. In addition, I considered his face profile. I decided to left blue eyes, firstly, because it reminds me of scooby doo as well. This is a part of my childhood. Moreover, the date of production brings back to the hippie movement. And I realize that characters from the cartoon are wearing complementary colours. This turned me to signalise one of the conceptions regarding that colour palette.

Firstly, I painted the skin in a light pink shade. In one go I painted the top shape and left the space for trousers. I decided to paint his feet as well.

Here, I painted his top in purple.

And definitely, he has no support to stand on his feet.

I had persuaded my imagination regarding his outfit, therefore, the trousers I took from my illustration.





Here, you can see the eyes.
As I mentioned before, I was planning to make a trampoline. I want to transit the drum from the Sgt.Pepper photo session. Therefore, I have checked the colours. The hard combination to select was because Mr Kite has purple and green colours on. I have suggested with the colour wheel how I can compare those tones. I have definitely known that orange or yellow would be matching.
I made extra sketches regarding this. 

As you can see there I put the colour samples and drum shapes.
Also, by the time of painting, I started with yellow strips. In general, I decided to stay with the left down corner version. I noticed, that the strips are too thick and I could not fill the blanks with green and blue.

I changed conception into triangle shapes. Moreover, this pattern does not repeat Mr Kite's trousers. 

Here I captured the last part of the process. The hula hoop I coloured in yellow with red diagonal lines.

    Good process and attention to detail, this post could perhaps do with a bit more detail in the commentary. Otherwise, looks good, well done.

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Art Portfolio: Planning primary research

  For your project, you will need some primary research so that you can either understand your market and focus your work more clearly in a real-world context or you will need background research to inform your project work that comes from a primary source. I conducted research on familiar comic books or something with past matters content. I found a story of the beginnings of The Beatles. It is also related to my project.  The  Baby's in Black: The Story of Astrid Kirchherr & Stuart Sutcliffe  takes reader back to the early 60s, when Paul, John, George, Pete and Stuart decided to extend their musical abilities by playing in Kaiserkeller club, Hamburg. The book was originally published in Germany in 2010. Therefore, the vibe of this book ideally reflects the place and experiences. This ultimate graphic novel has 195 pages. Accordingly black&white design reflecting the title. The author, Arne Bellstorf used individual renditions by pulling a lot of effort into...

Set Project: Sketches and coming back to the first plan

In the last days, I concluded that I should focus on the reasons why I choose this topic and the style of this project. I think I started to be weak and not sure what I want to do. I think the reason is in a large number of researches. Same with techniques and artists to look at. I summarise that I am not capable to mix various inspirations at once. I came back to my first inspiration Anto van Hertbruggen. Because I always wanted to make art like that, no matter what's it gonna take. Here I will discuss the elements which I want to use to combine this pice in one. Here is the whole work with the background. As I mentioned before, I looked at how Anton work on his illustrations. He usually filling few sheets in drawings (as layers for one illustration).  First, I found a great view on google maps. I am interested in the territories of Canada and the northern landscape. The place is in Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife.  click I sketch this place on two sheets of paper. Then...
