Horse in acrylic

I have just recently found this, I painted it when I was 14 on a box.

Hand sketch


A drawing of my hand in biro. I thought that my own hand would be a good choice of subject as I can improve my drawing of it whenever I want to.

Old sketch

I sketched this in early 2012 and I have recently found it again.
Drawing faces aren't my strong point but I like to try.

Watercolours

 I haven't used watercolours in a very long time so I've just started with small samples in my little sketchbook that I take everywhere.

Learning how to do measured drawings


Before I did these I had never drawn an accurate drawing of a person before and by being taught how to measure correctly using a pencil held up, I think that these aren't bad for a first attempt.

Batik on paper


I have never used wax or dyes, these also include a small amount of bleach to create some of the shadowing on the faces. I am quite happy with how these turned out.

Clay

Clay head, first attempt at using clay. I found it very challenging but I'm happy with this and it only took me about 3 hours to complete.

Words which are part of a quote. Cut out of black card, mainly focusing on typography.

For these I have used a viewfinder on my work with ink and tissue paper. These are painted in black gouache and still need to be cut out. 
Rolled out clay with slip on top, before being fired.
