I've been meaning to do this a while, but haven't gotten around to it. I know we have several artists from talking to people in the chatroom, and I had discussed several times about starting a thread like this, but kept putting it off. This series is for our HyeClub members to get a chance to show off their talents and creativity in the arts. Starting off the series is an artwork thread. Here, members can post any kind of artwork that THEY THEMSELVES created (not artwork by others). But please, only people that are serious about art, and not people who consider just any old thing they drew to be "artistic". I have seen several pieces from other HyeClub members, so you had better post what you got! I'll start off.
As shameful as it is to say, I haven't drawn anything since college. It's just something that got tossed to the way side as life got in the way of living. Here are some pieces I did back in senior year of high school...
This was mostly done in pastels with some colored pencil, and a touch of paint for the white highlights. I was a wee bit obsessed with the future scenes from Terminator I, and found this storyboard pic in a Terminator magazine I picked up. I felt compelled to make a huge version of it, and here we are. Though it's gotten tattered around the edges over the years from constantly moving, and not having anything to really keep it protected with.
I had exhausted every art class you could take in high school, even repeating "Studio Art", which was allowed. The only thing that I had not taken was painting, on account of never having painted before, and being afraid to try. But my teacher, who I had all throughout high school, kinda pushed and challenged me to take it, saying he was confident I'd do well. I guess I have him to thank for the following pieces.
This first one is in oil. It's the first paint medium we worked with, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The paint would stay wet for days, so it was easy to go back and change things I didn't like. Of course, being I took on a daunting project, I ran out of time before I could truly finish it. There are a lot of things I don't like on it. MJ's ear needs touching up, and his jersey and the shirt over his shoulder looks horrible. Scottie Pippen's hand also lacks detail. Some day, I'll go back and finish this.
Next, we did watercolor. I didn't like this nearly as much. The paint dried very quickly, and it was much more difficult to blend and make look realistic than the oil. Never the less, I'm fairly satisfied with the outcome. And yes, I had a mild MJ obsession, too, but you couldn't help that growing up in the Chicagoland area during the '90s.
And that's about all I can readily find at the moment. If I come across more, I will post it. Your turn!
