Man's hand

This is one of the drawings I've done during Easter. It is suppose to be the hand of a man although it is too slim and seems to be a woman's one. I copied it from a photograph and tried to imitate every single detail. I do it with a pencil as it is my favourite tool to work with and I really love the shadows and the veins of it. :)

View finder

This is what we call a view finder. It consists on focusing only on a part of a painting and draw it. I decided to paint one of the most famous work of art of Vincent Van Gogh: "Starry Night Over the Rhone" as I fell in love with it from the first time I saw it. It was a challenge but I could pass through it. It is the first time that I've tried to imitate one of the most famous artists of all history but I really like the final result. The purpose of this task was mainly to imitate the brushtroke of the artistic movement: Post-Impressionism, and I confess it was the most difficult part. :)

Colour wheel in an artistic way

The purpose of this drawing was to represent our famous colour wheel in an artistic way. I chose this idea because I thought it would be easy to recognize the colour wheel and it was original. Furthermore, I consider the "wine" makes a contrast with the glass and it really seems to be wine falling from a bottle. Finally, I used the method of the straw just blowing the very watery tempera just to fill the empty space using more or less the colours included in the colour wheel.

The second picture has the negative effect of the original one and it changes each colour to its opposite one. I really like the intensity of the colours and the contrast they make with the black background, mainly with the orange. I think they seem to be like neurons haha :)

Hue, value and saturation

Determination, patience, water and only five colours are essential for this drawing. Here we can see the three attributes of colour: the hue, the value and the saturation from the primary colours. I really like all these changes of colour and as I said in the colour wheel picture, it was only a way of practicing but the effect it makes is wonderful :)

Colour wheel with colour pencils

The combination of the three primary colours give way to this picture. As we can see, we can change from magenta to blue and to yellow very easily, just mixing. From my point of view, this is the best way to practice in order to make wonderful works of art with all the colours of the spectrum :)

Illustration

This is my illustration from the story for children called 'Where the wild things are'. I've done it on the first term and it's about a boy who dressed up like a wolf at night and wild animals and monsterssurrounded him. We can see he's afraid but then he overcame his fear and stared at them deeply. It's not clear on the photograph, but the paragraph from which I took this idea is written at the left bottom. Although I consider it looks very infantile, I like the final result. :)

Figure and background

This is the figure and background we've done on the first term. At first, it seems like a normal landscape but if you look at it properly, you'll find more than one picture. This is what we call an optical illusion.

In my opinion, it looks pretty good despite the fact it was the first time I've done a landscape completely with a pencil. :)
