painting class #3

This is the most satisfactory i got so far. Although it is not even close to the completion. many areas are not good. luckily we will get another chance to work on this pose. it looks a lot better with a background.

painting class #2

Here you go another ugly old man, from 2 weeks ago. the poor old man has felt asleep while posing, so it's not completely my fault that the face sags. left side body not completed, also the chair, so it looks physically impossible. when i have a chance to look away from the detailed patches and brushes, i start to see where works and where not. funny man boob on the left side...
a shame that i can't find this one painting commented as interesting and bold by the tutor. i think it's all because the arm was just in an awkward angle. to help you imagine, it's very much like a boomerang with a big knob suggesting the hand. oh well, what a nice teacher she is.

this painting was from last class. subject: back bones. quite amazing how the picture covered up the rubbishness of the originals!

Painting Class #1

here is the first drawing i did in the last 2 months or so. A 30min toning test. I like the slight abstract, and the treatment of the seat was alright. But the whole left leg is quite vague.

Then the first painting. 45 min b&w Acroleic (?). Ahh, really tough! I really hate the anticipating collections of those dots. 
Although i was quite pleased with the relation between the matress and the body.

Actually in my depressing foundation, i did a couple of paintings. Not so much better since then huh? Really conscious, that's my problem, well, apart from that i just don't know how to paint.
(looks better when small)

蟋蟀少年

哇，好像《20世纪少年》里的小孩儿，那么一定是发生在废弃的房子里的故事啦，哈哈。

今天你聊了没

做成瓷砖儿挺好看的

Lady : Bird...I cannot see a thing

巨人

noir的脸

一直很喜欢毕加索的蓝色时期，因为焦虑和伤逝，3、4年间一种普鲁士蓝，反复出现在他的作品中。后来尽管他不断爆发创新，蓝色时期的基调再也没有消失。一直想在肖像上尝试用冷色看看，自然选了蓝色。
原稿凑巧呈现出film noir的光，西区柯克式对比强烈的惊悚氛围。

青铜色，立体感稍强。不过还是更喜欢原稿，蓝光光的。

百般无聊正玩儿那种时尚搭配的flash游戏，不经意搭了这么一套。

阴差阳错，突然脑海里看到一个法国女孩站在湄公河的风里。印象中，L' Amant / 情人（1992）里幼年的Jane March就理所应当穿这样一身。更素淡许多罢了。

本来忘记了，原来去年夏天去的澜沧江即也是湄公河，情致真是不同啊。

Alice+Martin的奥德赛

Alice和Martin Provensen是50年代以来有名的美国夫妇插画作家。在他们同时署名插画作品之前，都有在动画工厂工作的经历，30年代末至40年代中他们分别为Walter Lantz和Walt Disney做设计创作。
他们的作品线条颇有古风，画面充满张力。更引起我兴趣的是，他们唤回很多我对古希腊神话世界的向往。希腊神话里的人物，为其性格和命运所主导，亦神亦人。虽为神身，但他们也极端孤僻，妒忌，自怜，软弱，他们在不可抗的被安排的命运中随波逐流。因此对我这种插画是否具有表现力，主要决定在人物的神情和姿态。
这里是他们的荷马史诗。
