"Art is what you can get away with" - Andy Warhol

So rather than putting up a few quotes I decided to post a few art works by artists on deviant art. They inspire me and blow away my breath with every glance.

Flower by Aditya777

Flower grabbed my attention with the vibrant use of orange and white. The orange is placed in such a way that it directs the eye to her rosy cheeks in her pale face. I adore the fine detail of the white lace as I'm a full-blown sucker for white elements. Her eyes seem to stare into the depths of your soul (dum dum duuuuuum -dramatic camera zoom-). All-in-all this piece is amazing and so is the rest of Aditya777's work. Go check it out!!

Beauty is only skin deep - RyanGonzales

Need I say much? This is amaziiiiing!! Seriously, if you don't like this I'm pretty sure I can find you a good psychologist. I'm joking, your head is fine. This piece pulls you to it and grabs you by the face. I'm especially moved by her eyes, mouth and nose. The use of colour is beautiful and has a certain..sparkle.

Term 3 project - A3 sized pen comic strip

At the start of the project my plan was to draw Merveille and Lauren. I wanted to draw a break-up story where the girl burns the boy with her super powers as the project was "my super sized school day at DF", but as we all know in art things never go as planned and my story changed tremendously nearing the deadline day.

My story didn't even stay a story but turned into a flash of different feelings and two entirely different people who are drawn towards each other.

The girl, Lauren, is shown to be a insecure girl who lives by her own rules and won't be moved by anyone in the way she's bending over to look at the rose in confusion. the side piece of the fire above the fingertip is to portray Laurens wild emotions.

Merveille is seen to be a romatic, well-mannered gentleman by the way he's standing upright and the giving of a rose. There's not much to say about this character as he's the typical stereotype of a man.

I enjoyed this project but don't think I'll be working with pen again any time soon XD

p.s, I probably said "I'm leaving art!!" 30 times in the making of the comic :P don't think I will though.

p.p.s, as you can see the planning and final differs a lot XD
