Surrealism excersises



This is a drawing of a zombie in a suit. During lesson we were asked to draw something from a dream or a nightmare, one of my recent dreams was of me being in a zombie apocalypse and decided that I would draw a zombie as I am no good at drawing any detail so it is quite sketchy. I decided to give lots of marks as if the skin had cracks and parts were mauled off. For example the arm with no shoulder, part of the brain showing and no ears. This was drawn with only charcoal there are no pencil marks underneath, drawn straight from charcoal which means that any mistakes will be part of the drawing. Since the lines were quite light I decided to go over them while pressing hard on the charcoal which made the outlines darker and thicker. This meant that the lighter marks wasn't going to blend into one mess.

The right shoulder of the zombie looks bigger on purpose due to I didn't want it to look plain and boring facing forward. So I decided to have it leaning forward on one side slightly, as if swinging its arms back and forward when it takes a step forward. 
 
 
These are pieces of work that I did in class. We had to take out 3 words at random from a bag of other words and create images from those three words. These are what I created from each combination, I even wrote what the words were so that others knew what I was trying to make.
Some are quite silly and some are plain and simple as there may have not been more than one or two combinations.
Some are quite surreal if you look at each one individually, they are something that you wouldn't think to draw randomly, they were created with a mixture of words.
