Zainab's Art Adventures

A little poster! I love it, it's so cute! I began with drawing a slanted pen(It's a black (Dollar) pointer, my favorite pen for drawing and writing(Btw, The outlook of the pen has changed recently, it's body is now black and the cap is silver, I couldn't do that).  After that I drew a stick figure balanced on the pen. I added details, drew on the clothes. Then I drew the bubble on top. I couldn't decide on what to draw, first I drew some random doodles on it, but that looked a bit weird.  I decided to write the word 'ideas' in it, because ideas are the root of all drawings. It seemed weird then but with the awesome typography and the sparkly stars it looked unusually good.(It's just that the letter 'S' was yellow so it blended too much with the stars. It would have looked better with green). I coloured everything in and then wrote the quote I just made up. XD  I wrote my name with purple because it's my favorite color. It looks great,...

I recently did this sketch. After all those fists I drew lately in a poster I didn't draw any more 'hands'. I completed this on Tuesday. This is a 'V' sign, or, more commonly known as 'victory' sign. I had a lot of fun doing it , especially the background hatching ( I learnt this technique in the book, 'Drawing Media') which I did with a blunt HB and a 2B pencil. My model for this sketch -my left hand! XD

I was feeling a bit bored these days, so I decided to be creative and make something, which really livens me up. XD My sister suggested that I make something out of the Sculpturing-book-and-kit we brought quite a long time ago but didn't make any complete thing out of. I decided to do just that. I opened it up and decided to make a horse instead of a human figure or portrait, that would be something completely different yet fun to do. First I began making the armature(the wiry skeleton, you could say), so I took out two plastic cogs and three long metal wires(as par the instructions in the guidebook) and began twiddling with them. ;) It took one whole day to make the skeleton, and I was extremely proud of it. The armature. At least it looks like a four legged creature that has a head and a tail! Then I left it like it for a couple of days. Later, I covered it with foil (a difficult job to do, the foil wouldn't stay in place and I secured it with tape, which eventua...

These frames I made earlier on last year but forgot to share on this blog. But as I am about to give away one of them, I decided to share photos of them here, because they took so much time and energy to make. This photo frame I made first. It is rather simple, but it looks great, doesn't it? I painted it with poster paints(mixed with a bit of silver dust to add a soft shine) and made a simple pattern with contrasting orange. And this one I made after that. One Unique thing about it is that it has curved sides, which I have never done before. It is all shaped with a filer, and I had fun doing that. :D I painted several layers of blue paint on it(mixed with German White Glue) which made it quite opaque. I glued on a pretty blue butterfly to decorate.
