Artober 2021- Day 4- Bomb Jack

 

Well it didn't take me long to make some fan art. Just watching a streamer on Twitch playing games on Antstream, including Bomb Jack. I have fond memories of playing this in an arcade many years ago. The pose feels a bit like SuperTed or Super Mario Bros 3, but I wanted to toy with some old stationary I found whilst tidying up today. 

Artober 2021- Day 3- Blob/Splat

 I just let my imagination run riot with this one. No clear agenda, just making shapes with pencils and several ink pens. 

Artober 2021- Day 2- Dancer

 Been watching Strictly Come Dancing on TV, so I decided to do a quick drawing of a dancer. It's not meant to be based on any particular, but it was influenced by the dancers of my favourite dance in the programme. 

Artober 2021- Day 1- Rubber Hose Characters.

 I kind of got inspired by this Toontober challenge that I kept seeing on my social media feeds. The first three days were going to be the theme on Rubber Hose, so I just attempting to do some characters with some rubber hose aesthetics. The face on the dust bin cracked me up. 

The bottom picture was some earlier pencil and ink drafts before fully committing to my piece.

Life Drawings- 1st July 2021- Modern Queer Heroes Workshop.

 I'm so glad I managed to attend this life drawing session, run by Kate Jessop, inspired by her recent film project, Modern Queer Heroes, in which the model posed themself in poses inspired by the 14 people they featured in this collaborative film.  So here are the drawings. 

The first quick sketch was based on George Michael... because of the jacket. 

This one was based on Lady Phyll.

This was based on the musician, Frank Ocean.

This pose was based on Denise Ho.

This pose was based on Janelle Monae. 

This pose was based on the comic book artist, Alison Bechdel.

This pose was inspired by Fox Fisher.

This one was influenced by the YouTuber, Natalie Wynn. 

This one was inspired by the group, Christine and The Queens.

This was inspired by the model, Munroe Bergdorf.

This was influence by the works of Gregg Araki.

This one, which is my personal favourite, was inspired by the musician and activist, Chardine Taylor Stone. 

This pose was inspired by the works of Judith Butler

The final one was inspired by the works of Travis Alabanza.

I'll be honest, this is the first time I've done any life drawing in years, let alone on Zoom. I enjoyed it, and there are plenty of personalities to check out from this film.
