Life drawing

Throughout the 8 weeks of life drawing lessons I have been asked to look into the works of different artists who work with figures and bodies.


Georges Seurat

Caravaggio

 

Frida Kahlo

2D Design artists

Stefan Sagmeister

I was immediately intrigued by his work when I saw it as I feel there is an inevitable truth behind his work. He chooses strong words to include in his works and that is what makes them so overwhelming.

Noma Bar

The saying 'less is more' came to mind when I saw Bar's work. His simple use of block colour (usually no more than a few colours together in one piece of work) is very eye catching. He also very cleverly interlocks different objects and pieces them together so they all create one. I thought that was really interesting and I have never seen anyone do something like that before.







Timorous Beasties

I really like his work and the intricate detail and subtle repetition in is very beautiful and elegant. Contrasting dark and light colours together allow even the smallest details to stand out without looking too cluttered overall.









Hollie Chastain

When working in the illustration area, my favourite technique I learnt was collaging and these pieces of work are great examples of collages. I also really like how the black and white gives a vintage feel but adding geometric shapes into the work contrasts the new with the old.







Sara Fanelli

Her work is really playful and child-like whilst being very eye catching and thoughtful. She uses a range of colours and her collaging techniques are clever as she layers different pieces, and uses strong sharp lines against smooth curves.
