Idea Pictures

I am quite happy with the square one, mainly because it is different from what I draw normally. I definitely have learned a lot from testing the light and shadow. I like the texture that I add and a little detail in the lamp which on the background.

I erased the outline and the bow tie to make it more simple and comfortable. I think there are still many little things I can improve and refine, but overall I am quite pleased with it.

Compare to last two, I was very struggled with the portrait one. I think the composition is better, the idea of a man got shot at the leg and left his gun on the floor. But still I think I didn't show it very clearly that he actually shot himself. although I make him facing away his gun just want to show that idea. Another thing about this piece is, the sytle is quite different compare to last two. I think I need to reduce some details from my drawing.

Task 3: Illustrators using Print Processes

Jeong Hwa Min always use bright contrasting colour with strange and funny character. She pulls huge inspiration from wall paintings and prints by Sol LeWitt. She is a very bold, concise, minimalist and sometimes abstract artist. She has evolved as a means of self-expression and is something that she’s constantly building on.

Ideas

 For the square one I want to just do a portrait of Poirot. I don't want to show too much detail on him, I think just only the musache and outfit can show who am I drawing. I still need to testing about the colours and the way I draw it.

  I really like the idea of giving people clues to guess who my character is. So for my landscape format I want to draw many Poirot's objects like his glasses, walking stick, his hat... I really like the idea, I just need to refine it.

 For this one I actually drawing 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd'. I also gives some clues on this one for people who know the story. I want to show a man shot his own leg, but I think I didn't show it very clearly so I need to think how can I tell the story.

Task 2: Editorial illustrator

This illustrator from South Korean name
Myeong-Minho, she is often drawing some lovely couple doing their daily things together. I think her work represents that love is the best thing of all. She likes to add some texture to her digital works.

Julian Callos drawings are very creative; he did a lot of wonderful watercolor prints. Human and animal are his main theme most of the time. Nature is a great theme, the human can protect of destroying the nature, nature can strike back, and I think Julian Callos use this beautiful way to represent that.
