This is a picture I drew of Mike Patton who is the lead singer of the band 'Faith No More'. The Picture was drawn with charcoal, coloured pastels and a handful of different shades of chalk. I loved the original image that I had created, however when I took a photo of the drawing and uploaded it to my laptop I decided to have a play around with it and see what I could add to it.
This is the original drawing......
In the next image I just drained the original colour, then added a rainbow coat over the top of the picture...
I really enjoy how this next picture takes the famous formation and style of Andy Warhol and his Pop art creation..........
One method of presenting a piece of art is showing the gradual build of an image. I love seeing the technicalities involved in creating a certain image regardless of what materials are used to produce it. I have found a few videos of different types of art that has recorded the artistic process used so that you can see the growth of the piece of art.

I also found on You Tube a comic that someone has created and turned into a mini video art buy adding sound, simple movement in the images and to the next slide and thought that it was pretty cool.

I found our topic 'digital drawing and painting' to be a challenge and nowhere near as straight forward as I had thought it would be. Initially I thought that I would be able to construct quite realistic and natural looking still life images when I saw the many options in drawing paper, brushes, pens, pencils and charcoal etc.... But as I was not very familiar with the tools that were available I found it to be rather confusing and most images that I drew just became experimental as I would often not get the effect that I was after.
Here are two of the best still life images I was able to produced, one being an apple and the other a blue wine bottle.
