Kevin's Art 2D Blog
My theme is combining standerd methods and mediums such as charcoal and soft pastel, with digital design. Mixing the two different processes creates a very unique finished product that I hope to continue to get better at.

Narcism
This is my latest independent work. With this piece the goal was to step up everything I had been doing in my previous two pieces. The mediums used are still the same but the craftsmanship and quality turned out a lot better. This is my favorite of the three I have made so far and I especially like the red in the background and the layers that the silhouettes create. The fade in around the edges (done in Photoshop) really adds to the entire piece I think.

Reach
Time
This was my first independent project. The process of creating this piece was a little bit different then my normal process. I first drew the entire piece using charcoal and soft pastel. Then I took a picture of it and imported it into Adobe Photoshop. I then used Photoshop to edit the picture and create layers and depth. I love the radial compostion and the entire piece in general. The craftsmenship was not perfect but overall I really like it.
Erasure Drawing
This was the first movement piece I completed during this semester. We had to create a composition and erase some part of it. Then we drew the image again. We repeated this process in order to create movement based off of faded images. Overall I was proud of this piece although I still feel it could have used a little bit more in the background.
Image Transfer Portrait
This piece was intended to convey scared or even terrifyed emotion. I used purples and blues in the background to keep it almost dull compared to the bright red I used to accent the face. The black is used all throughout the piece and in the background I added a simple image of a tree to keep it from feeling too empty.
Movement Piece
Weaving Project
This piece is actually two pieces put together using a weaving technique. The subject was the exact same ion each piece however in one piece I used black and white charcoal and in the other I used acrillic paint. After I finished both pieces I cut each one up and weaved them together, creating the finished product. Overall, this project was very annoying but I really do like the outcome. It definitely turned out a lot better than I though.
