Decalcomania technique work

During lesson we used paint on plastic boards to try and create the decalcomania technique. By placing different paints on the board and mixing them to create different colours I then placed pieces of paper for a few seconds and peeled it off causing different patterns. I will work into some of these patterns.

 

This is one of the scans. The way the paint stuck to the paper has caused a snake like pattern to appear. I decided to open it up in Photoshop and draw an outline of the shape which I will then work over. This is the outline without the picture. You can clearly see the snake's head and mouth shape.












This is the snake completed as an abstract piece. I decided to stick to the purple colours and colour each empty space and painted space. The very light purple is where the white spaces where and the darker shades of purple are from the paint colour. This took me around 3 hours to do as it required me to paint each section, go over the gaps and fix any mistakes, to then fade it a little and go over areas that required detail.

Different art paths: My work

I have created different art works, although they aren't as amazing as artists I've researched, they are a good standard to match my skill of work. But that can all change over the years as I practice more and learn new things.



This is one of my paper drawings, normally I am unable to draw things like this on demand, I have a strange way of drawing something once and unable to re create it, I tend to use this to my advantage. I love drawing things like dragons, the scales and the wings, the horns and the spikes. Its like drawing a dangerous and mystical freedom.



These two are the first of my digital drawings. The 'Zyalsas' was a creation of my DeviantArt name, I thought that before I make any art, I'd have to create my name, right? This was before I got my Huion tablet, so these two were created with a mouse. The wings in the title were partly traced as I haven't covered how to draw wings just yet. This wolf below was random, I was messing about in a new software and created the moon, and I thought, a wolf might look good with this. It took me awhile but I'm proud it is the first of my many digital paintings to come, but all in due time.




I have also decided to draw a sword with my Huion tablet. I decided to give it a blue shimmer to look like lightning was coming off of the blade, the markings on the top of the blade were random and I thought it'd make the blade look more cooler with it on.
