Exploring composition.

Its Raining frogs!

I used the artist Natsko Seki, from the ‘LOOKIE LIKEY’ project as a influence on these buildings. The combination of detailed line drawing and flat gouache, which I explored this combination in the following images.

A flat surface, with interesting use of composition and scale, with the small photoshop people. Really appreciate the detail and line quality in the drawings of the buildings. 

Its raining frogs!

After drawing some frogs  on the theme of ‘Fears and Phobias’, I began to do some reading and read of numerous tales of ‘raining frogs’ throughout history. These true stories have occurred in British towns, caused when a wind storm has passed over a pond or lake filled with frogs, picking them up and throwing them elsewhere.  I then started to illustrate scenes of ‘Raining Frogs’. I liked the visual quality of the frogs, as there are quite simple forms to draw but can allow for quite a lot of detail. And I have enjoyed experimenting with composition and how this conveys different narratives and different characterisation of the frogs.

I came across this artist on Grain Edit, and liked the naive style.

Whats under the bed?.

Continuing with the creatures (which were beginning to look more like monsters) I created following the ‘exquisite corpse’ task, I considered the ideas of monsters. Monsters are thought to lurk in domestic settings such as under beds, in wardrobes and behind doors.  I briefly pursued this visually, after our groups communication began to break down and everyone’s work began to branch off.
After a tutorial, I decided not to carry on with the domestic monsters. Instead, I considered the idea of ‘What’s under the bed?’, fears and phobias.
