Finished my helmets!!

I'm so pleased with how these turned out! They took a lot longer than I originally thought they would and I think my sketchbook may have been left a little because of that but I still really happy with the result.

Making, making, making!

I've decided to go with the making the war helmets idea! However this proved trickier than I thought first I thought about filled the plastic helmet that I had with plaster but then they wouldn't be hollow and I'd have to hollow them out and that same think a lot of work for not very much reward. So I went with paper mâché.

What I did was use the plastic helmet as a mould and create 3 helmets. 

However I then discovered that they were pretty flimsy so I wanted to make the sturdier. I decided to cover them in mod roc to help them have a bit more shape and stop them for collapsing in on themselves. 

I'm going to leave them overnight and hopefully I'll be able to paint them soon!

Drawing sketchbook

Been quite enjoying sketching in my drawing sketchbook. Think I've came up with some good ideas and what I'm going to do for my final.

Having an influence

Think my adopting a fruit have had an influence on my little sister, as she has decided she now has a pet orange. She dresses him up, his name changes quite often which is quite confusing and she like to draw expressions on his little face. I suppose artist want to have an influence and at sorta achieving that! Start small as they say, soon I will have half my family with baby fruits! Mwahahahahaha! All a part of my master plan. 

BAD1 BLOGGER!!

My class name (BAD1) might have been a sign of my blogging abilities! I know I should've been blogging a lot especially since I've started new briefs but I have been crazy busy (as have everyone) and what with hand in dates, new briefs, Christmas coming up I haven't found the time to blog as much as I would've liked. However one of my New Years resolution is to blog more! This should mostly be achieved through better time management which is a personal goal of mine, as I think it not a matter of doing too much it's just fitting it all in.

A trip down memory lane!

I went back to my old school today to collect my advanced higher work and it was really nice to see all my old teachers and friends. Something that really struck me was when I was gathering up all my work and I realised how different it is from the work that I'm doing now! I feel like I've changed my style quite a bit I still really love the work that I created but it's interesting to try out new things and I'm curious as where my work will end up as it is already so different from what I thought it would turn out like.

Because who doesn't love a casual selfie with your work?
