The Last ONES
Concentrations
This is Ruben Doblas Gundersen, a half spanish and norway youtuber that I have been following for almost 6 years.
Every year, for halloween he gets this incredible creepy makeup that makes him look like he was a skeleton. I have always likes creepy drawings, so I decided I wanted to do a fanart of him.
I first did my sketches in tracing paper, 'cause that way I just draw what I want and avoid unnecessary lines. It takes more time, but the quality is better. After passing everything with pencils, I started to mark all the lines with pigment liners and with black sharpie painted all the black spots of the drawing.
For coloring I started with the background, since it was the hardest and more detailed part. For this I used different types of color pencils with very specific colors. It supposes that at the back of Ruben, there's a graffiti and a old wall.
Doing the leaves from the shirt was more detailed too, with color markers I paint them all a color base and then with thin color markers of darker greens I worked on the details of the leave. This made them look more realistic and some texture. I used the same process with the hair and the neck.
My fanart is basically centered, since the person is located at the center and I applied different ways to create volume and values, in this case I used crossed lines and black to dark specific places, since the light is coming from two spots at the top.
I actually had planned to do this fanart black and white, and maybe just paint some objects like the leaves for example, but the I thought it would look much better colored.
For this art work there's not really a story behind it. Maybe when I was younger I always wanted to wear cool and creepy makeup for halloween, but my parents thought that was something stupid to do, and I guess that's why I always have been attracted to it. Maybe that's why I made the shirts with pod leaves, like the drawing was forbidden, censored.
My drawing is done, but if i could add something, that would be more shadows and texture on the face. It looks a little bit plane in some parts, like the cheeks for example.
The subject of this sculpture is "LOVE YOURSELF".
Just like everybody, there's something about me that I don't like and I really wish I could change. But when you start growing, you realize that you are perfect in your own way and that the people that knows you, really appreciates that.
So I decided to do a messy wire man hugging a crumbled box with some words on it, like "defects", "complex" and a very big "ME" written on one of the sides. Here's the first sketch of it. -------------------------->
The materials that I used for this sculpture were wire for the base, some wooden sticks for the arms and legs and cardboard to make a stands for it.
I thinks I used specific focus on the man and the box, since the wire tree on the left and the small plants at the background are not the main objective. I had planned to use just wire and a wooden stick to make the sculpture stand but then to make it look integrated I added some wooden sticks on the legs and arms.
The only thing that might make my sculpture stronger is to make a pattern at the back since the floor has one and makes the sculpture more interesting.
Este último proyecto lo hice digitalmente y de alguna forma me siento identificada con el. Tengo la misma camiseta a rayas, tuve el mismo corte de pelo y el corazón es el amor que siempre trato de entregar a las personas que aprecio, asi que he decidido llamar este trabajo "A part of me".
Mi objetivo era trasladar este dibujo digital a la realidad y pensé que sería una gran idea, si lo podría pintar en plastico como si fuera uno de estos vidrios de colores que están en las ventanas de las iglesias. Mi abuela tenía también, muchos colgantes de vidrio por la casa. Estos siempre tenían dibujos de flores o árboles y creo que esa fue la razón de porque decidí hacer el fondo de flores.
Los materiales que use son papel de plástico transparente y sharpies de colores, que son los mejores para pintar superficies plásticas.
Tenia pensado en pintar el fondo negro, pero al final decidí dejarlo transparente, ya que asi le entra mas luz. Ademas cuando lo pones contra la luz del sol, se ven sombras de colores en las paredes.
Creo que el mayor reto fue imitar los colores de la versión digital con los sharpies, ya que los colores de los marcadores son muy limitados.
Creo que este trabajo tiene muchos aspectos en los que se puede mejorar. Por ejemplo, si lo rehiciera, trabajaría mas con los colores de las hojas y las flores. Trataría de ir probando distintas mezclas de colores hasta dar con el que más me guste.
