In Action - Part 3

Hey there,

So I have been talking for a while about a project that my sister and I have been wanting to do.

WE HAVE FINALLY STARTED!!!!

As of Sunday the 5th of Jan, we started our comic. We sat down, got all our stuff together and discussed what parts we had to play in the comic,  wghat stuff wwe were going to need obviously she writes and I draw so it was final that we were going to partner up from the beginning.  A outstanding writer and an experienced artist work perfectly together, right?! 

If you want to know the equiptment I use for the comic, look down below. 

 Purchases for comic studies

• Making comics storytelling secrets of comics, manga and graphic novels. By Scott McCloud.
• Understanding comics the Invisible art. By Scott Mc McCloud.
• The last Purchase - The walking dead Compendium one. This was not bought for studies, but it is definately a great help for studies, to see how they have draw the characters really help. 

The top images are small panel drawings I did of 'The Walking Dead' for practice. I did find it quiet challenging at first, it was difficult to get the shapes of faces, catch a nice flow of using the pens and getting the proportions  right. In saying that I have over come these problems and now are doing better at it. I still want to improve alot more and take more notice of all the acspects that relate to a comic.

Whats next for me..?

 
+ Artist problems  

I am more then determined  after my 1st exhibition. Im motivated to do more. 

Ive had thoughts before about doing my own tatto book, just a small one though. I just think that its a great idea, plus it still links back to my art. Now I have decided that I want to produce pieces of art that are bigger then me ... now im 4'11, I guess thats not too bad, its a challenge that im willing to take on.

In my last post I mentioned about couples and culture, I really want to start doing cultral art on a bigger scale, experiementing with new things maybe with different materials. I am one that only like to stick to the style I know best but ive learnt that the more versatile you are as an artist, the more People will appriciate it as its directed at many crowds. Im going to make my work more authentic, more edge and risk taking. 

 Im also planning to do a project with my big sis as shes a writter and im an artist, where going to do a comic of a story she has been working on. Its amazing because my ss and I never realised the potetial of our talents coming together before. So Im excited to be starting a project with my sister because she is an amazing writter and the world will soon find out just how great she is at her craft.

Fun project  - I want to do a small project where a couple of friends and I do a photoshoot but I want the theme to be something like ' BUBBLE GUM GIRLS THEME ', find a nice landscape (Location)  where we can do it. After thats done I draw/ Paint them. If you guys have any suggestions make comments below:).



Then I got two recent offers which were, To teach children to learn english over a period of time, but through my art. I think this is great, working with children would be an honourto me.  Then
 Eli the storyteller was also intersted in doing some story telling with my art as inspiration.
Thank you for these opportunities. I hope to work with you all in the near future.

New Artist problems

So I always have this idea in my head that I can just walk into an arts ad craft store and just buy what I want, more so need. Thats not the case. The things you see in good quality art stores are not cheap atall. Like I just want to be able to buy whatever but I cant sometimes because Im a new artist and I dont always have the change to do so. Thats just one of many problems. 

I also have to try my hardest to promote myself on all the social newtworks I have, on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook like page, Blogspot (...This LOL), Deviantart and Tumblr. Dont for a second think that Im complaining about it but its just very hard to keep up with them all but this is the only way of networking for me at the moment. .

Then people not buying your art, which is understandable because some dont know me, they dont want to invest in a piece of art most of the time if they are not head over heels for it.

Having a fan base is also a problem, people dont want to pay to get into exhibitions because they think its boring or not worth their time.. or what ever the case may be, to come and see paint splashed onto a canvas, they just dont get it. If people could see the true beauty of every individual artist, they'd pay faster then I can say BOO!!.

 Lastly,  getting my art from one location to the next. Transport for the exhibtion was hard enough but when I start to produce bigger pieces.. what am I going to do. Argh! The fustration. My dads transport is somethig I will have to deal with untill I become more established.

The only thing that is great right about now, is having all the 

spear time in the world that I need as an artist:)

Its great to get into new things, im always willing to know more about
my industry. 

 Come again

Let The Music Create My Art'

 So the other day my sister asked me if i have ever used music to influence my art work... I said no because to be honest, thats the truth. My mind does not go crazy when ever I listen music I just start dancing like a crazy woman. I know maybe strange to some.

Anyways we got talking and She had already been playing music whilst we had been speaking, the next song came on, which was Ed sheeran - Drunk(This song is so beautiful) so I decided that I was going to start actually listening to the word to see what I felt or saw in my haed from it.

Turns out its a great stimulus to work from, only works for some music. Then  ' The power of love' came on and my mind started going crazy, I actually started to think music may be the one that can allow me to create original, unique but beautiful work. The images that I was getting in my head were so beautiful and I found I couldnt stop it.

Ill give you guys a small description of what I saw while listening to Power of love ..

A empty snow forest, which you can only see a small amount of the trees. Daytime, looks cold but its still so beautiful. Only one thing in the frest apart from the long and tall trees... a litttle girl walking towards it.. alone. She has her baby blue winter coat, scarf, hat and black shoes and she  looks no older then ten. 

Thanks :) Just a little something

Then it got better because Lauryn Hill came on, I got so excited I started thinking cultral art, afros,In dependent Individuals, Locked couple and that was it. 

Im not going to write a short description because I think the Image to the right below is what I was thinking in my head.

Music Is The Only Thing That Can Heal Us....

Music is a beautiful thing and I don't know what I would do it I didn't have it...Live on but its something that everyone can relate to in some way, share or form. Depending on what type of music you like, all these emotions come with it. I'm easy and like all types, I know It can be slightly annoying because, Nine times out of ten when You ask someone what type of music they like, they say "OH I like all types really :D" Yeah I know. People like music for all reasons but most of the time people say its because its like being in another place, you can just escape, listen and not be bothered. That's true but Its also for healing, Its a great therapy, If you have a different opinion, Please share.

If you think about it, back in the days when people felt hurt because of what ever reason or was misunderstood in some way, this must have been the only way they could express themselves and now we all share music from all over the world. Also art is another way of expressing feeling,music and art is beautiful.

My favourite song at the moment is 'Do it like you' - By DiggySimmons Ft Jeramih Check it out ;)

Never feel ashamed about the music you like just to fit in,
If you cant like the music you want, around your friends,
Then their not your friends.

You can confidently like your music and appreciate,
Or be ashamed and hide it. 

Deviant art

So I havent done much drawing lately because of sixth-form and other stuff that have been distractring me. But now I think I might be finally back on track.:D YES!!
I love doing traditional drawing because I feel like thats what I should be doing with my drawing skills, traditional. Being a part of deviantart is amazing because I just feel like everyone understands me there, not that I feel misunderstood. Its sure a huge growing site that its great to be a part of it already for 7 months, woow I must say it feels like years because people ae just sonice to you, appreciate your art and respect you.

Art is my life but it hasnt been for a VERY long time, and I know why.

Welcome To My Dollhouse

Hey,

I'm Rae, I've been thinking about making a blog for a while now and I thought now is the right time. My blog will mostly contain things to do with my art since it is my passion but I will change it up ever so often.

I've been drawing for a while now but since I have been studying Art for my GCSE's and now my A levels (Art AS) it has allowed me to be more versatile in the ways I create my art. I remembered doing art from about  the age of 11 and I still enjoy it now, I just wish I had more time to do my own thing.

I feel with art and drama I really get to express my feelings, but it shows through my art especially and always will, because it's just something that will always come naturally to me.
