Illustration Friday: Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu
(digital - illustration friday)

"I have seen this face somewhere... the eyes for sure... and the lips seem to be familiar... no, wait, it is the forehead... or the nose...?"

Well. You are not the only one. The portrait was put together from photographs of 6 world famous actresses who were the ultimate sex symbols of their era.

Illustration Friday: Diary



Art Journal July 9, 2010
(graphite, colored pencils and pen - illustration friday)

Well. I am well aware that the topic itself was "Diary", and I have toyed with several ideas in connection with it, but in the end I am just posting a recent page of my everyday Art Journal (presently a Moleskine). It was created on the way to my in-laws in the car, just for fun and to kill the time. Kinda zombie woman or what.

Intermezzo

I have gotten emails on 3 new comments of this blog but for the life of me I do not understand where they are or where they have disappeared in the blog (i.e. why aren't they showing up as usual, among the comments below). I do not moderate comments, etc. It might just be a short-term blogger melt down, however, I wanted to let you know that it was not me, I swear.

It is annoying and hasn't happened so far.

UPDATE (a day later): the blog still does not show the new comments. I apologize - but no clue what to do.

UPDATE 2: it seems to me blogger en bloc is experiencing this problem (not just me). A whole lot of blogs have the same problem. I reported it (there is a whole section now as well as a separate form for this concrete issue). We'll see.

UPDATE 3: it is about noon, July 7, and it seems to me blogger at last recovered.***

In Context

(pencil drawing and collage with digital background)


I am not very happy with the result: the statement is weak and pretty commonplace-y. I have had a relatively large pencil drawing (the person in the roots) for months and been waiting for the Real Thought to finish the trunk. Well, I just lost my patience and finished it a couple of hours ago. The digital background helped it a bit, and who knows, it might end up as a totally different image in the future...

The Oil Spill (Ripples)

A bit fucked up, but I did not have time and energy to correct it.

The illustration was made with the help of two tutorials.

Cybug

(computer graphics - Photoshop)


Wanted to make a photorealistic colorado beetle (it is coming some time) with colored pencils (halfly done), but meanwhile I got entangled with this and felt like finishing it. All together approx. 15-18 8-10 hours. I am falling in love with painting in Photoshop, I guess. Never thought it would happen, until I discovered some really cool techniques. (As it happens, the whole adventure started with a certain tut.)

Stock images from here.

Illustration Friday: Trail(s)



Trails
(pencil drawing, pen and sewing machine
- illustration friday)

Under the drawing there are fragments of the three books which have formed me all my life; without them I would not be what I am now. As a matter of fact, I would not be at all. But it is a long story.

The quoted texts are from A kitömött hattyú by Péter Esterházy, Shakespeare Our Contemporary by Jan Kott and Iskola a határon by Géza Ottlik.
