Personal | Busy Bee

First off, I'd like to apologize for the major hiatus Oh, Kenzo has undergone. I'm not dead, but I might be dying from lack of sleep and an oversupply of work, seeing as I'm currently writing year-end exams. I think this is a pretty good justification to my absence, so please forgive me. (I'll be done in just under a week from now, hollaaaaa!)

With that said, I thought it would be a good time to show you some of what I've been up to. If you don't know, I take art and design as subjects, and so my hours are dedicated to working on my art, and although I'd like to say that this is the reason behind my non-existent social life, I doubt I'd have one without all the art to do... *laughs awkwardly*

For our exam, we were asked to research (through photography and experimentation) different viewpoints/perspectives and media. Basically, aerial views, worm's eye views etc., and media like pen, watercolour, colour pencils, etc. I've used colour pencils for the majority of the art work below, graphite pencils, black pen and watercolour for the minor sections. My hair, which was mostly cut off when photocopying the reference, was done with chalk and charcoal.

As you can probably tell from the bottom section, it's not finished, but I had to hand it in for marking nevertheless. This project pushed me to my limits, because using a bunch of foreign media in such a large piece, for me, (A2) is very daunting. I'm quite surprised by the way it turned out, considering that I've never attempted anything in colour pencils before... Anyway, blah, blah, fish paste. *rambles on forever*

Tell me what you think!
