Faceless

        For my final, I decided to do a piece expressing my style. For this piece, I decided to create an image which has no explanation in mind and can be left to be anything. This has been done which pens and watercolor on the flowers and lips.

Manga's Decade Evolution

 1970's

1980's

1990's

2000's

For my change series, I decided to do the evolution of Manga. This was done on four different canvases, with acrylic ink and watercolor. Japanese comics art style has changed throughout the following decades 70's-20's. I decided to include characters from those decades showing the different styles. For example in the 70's the art style was more detailed with the characters having big eyes. In comparison in the 80's the art style was more action based and with characters with smaller eyes and some characters included less detailed designs.

Experimental Pieces

The first, second and fourth experimental pieces were done by acrylic pouring. The first piece is Triadic, the second piece is monochromatic and the fourth piece is analogous. For the third piece, I did a complementary color scheme, it was done by pouring acrylic medium on a  piece of plastic. Next drops of high flow were poured on the acrylic medium and left to dry. When dried, the board was covered in gesso and then glued the dried piece on the board.

Miki Matsubara

For the third value piece, I decided to step outside my comfort zone and used acrylic paint to make a realistic piece. I painted a Japanese singer from the 80's, Miki Matsubara. I decided to paint her because of her music being influential for a new genre of music I listen to.

Bitten Rose

For the second value piece, I used a scratchboard and started doing the basic design of the mouth and the rose. Later on, I did smaller details to make the design complete.

Dislocated

 For the value series, I've decided for the first piece to show my style but in a different medium. The process for this started off with a sketch and later on transferred on a canvas. After being transferred I slowly started working my way with acrylic paint and details with acrylic ink.

Mask

This last design symbolizes putting on a different face not truly expressing any emotion. It's composed with overlapping curves creating the hair and a continuous line creating the face and neck.
