Project Visual distortion

Exercise : Visual distortion

I need to draw either a cat or a dog so it looks naturally. My second drawing has to be a bit different from the first one.  I should use no more than five lines to create my previous drawing. The third illustration I am going to create from a magazines and printouts.

first trial for this exercise ...

                                     sketch nr. 1

                                sketch nr.2


my reaserch... Pierre Bonnard 1867-1947

                      " Illustrator " by Antoine Terrasse

                                                   picture nr.1

                                                   picture nr.2

                                                    picture nr.3


 Exercise 1

I took my dog Casper as an object for this task.  Casper is York therefore; he is very small and very lively.  It was a big challenge to capture his characteristic features in a short time.

exercise 2

 Exercise nr. 2 was another challenge however I really enjoyed it.  It made me think differently.  I made so many sketches using only 5 lines but some of theme did not look good enough.  Finally, I did a good one; you may see that on the sheet nr.  1

                                         sheet nr. 1

                                         sheet nr.2

                                                  finished    illustration



Exercise nr. 3

This is a picture of Casper... the bone is bigger than he is :)

I scanned different objects that I had at my home.  You may see for example a brush, a leaf or a bunch of cables.

I found Emilyb's blog ...I was very impressed that Emily came up with so many ideas for this exercise  . I liked the one with black and white magazine bits . I thought that was very creative .

I used different kinds of maps to make an illustration number 2.  It looks very colourful and bright.

Illustration number 3 created from different road sings from different countries.  I really like the tail made from road arrows, I think it looks very funny.
