Unleashing My Inner Picasso!

CUBISM

For this drawing I used colored pencils and crayons. I never really like drawing abstract but they always end up being fun to create, like any other drawing. It's its own challenge compared to a realistic drawing. 

Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso created the art movement of Cubism, using geometric shapes to depict subjects. They are usually broken up using lots of different viewpoints in the same object - like Picasso's portraits with multiple body parts, two noses or a mouth flipped upside down.

Most people would call this art WIERD, but maybe it's just another way of looking at something. Putting realism in another perspective.

For this picture I used books, jars, and candlesticks and broke them up prospectively and created a picture that will make people's minds go, "That's WIERD!" or "That's a little strange!" or "HUH!" or "AH! I thing I need glasses! It looks like … uh, I can't tell what it is."

Thanks for viewing my art!

STILL LIFE

 With Only a Pencil and my Eyes

With Only a pencil and my eyes I set out on an epic journey, a journey … to find something to draw. After hours of looking I settled for a third place trophy - the only trophy I've ever won, a candlestick, a book, a baseball, and an old cider jug.

Here is the first sketch of everything mapped out.

For this still life I used a method in the art world called sighting, not hunting, but using your pencil and the length of your arm to measure the subjects in reference to one another. Something like the below picture.

Below is the final still life shaded with value

COMPOSITIONAL STUDIES

This first picture is a study done from a Lucian Freud painting, it appears to be of flowers sitting on a chair in a vase, but depending on what you see, it is what you see, so don't let your eyes trick you into seeing something different. It is a little difficult to see because it is drawn lightly. 

The goal of this one was to draw it accurately according to the painting getting all the shapes and positive and negative forms mapped out correctly.

This next one is...not sure who did this drawing originally, but as you can see I have drawn a duplicate of it. The goal of this one was to draw only the negative shapes so in the end the positive shapes would be there creating the leaves and the flower.
