Art Challenge Results (featured artist Pat Perry )

Day 1 - Doodle in your sketchbook with your eyes closed

Day 2 - Open any book close your eyes and point to a word on that page. Draw what that word means to you with only warm or cold colors.

Word picked: Between

I chose a book from my childhood to pick the word. "The Thief of Always" by Clive Barker

Day 3- Go to your search engine then type in your name. Click the image tab and pick of few pictures to draw  using pointillism, scribble and contour lines.

Day 4 - Pick someone famous/notorious you admire. Look up quotes by them. Pick quotes that speak to you and draw your interpretation of that quote

 I chose Maya Angelou.  

Day 5- Click Next Blog until you stumble across a blog with pictures and draw an image that speaks to you. Then add your own artistic spin to it. Do this as many times as necessary til entire page is filled.

It surprisingly took me longer to find a blog with pictures than I thought.

Blog I picked:

http://buffyfest.blogspot.com/?expref=next-blog

This blog written by Tara is all about  Buffy the Vampire Slayer which was an amazing show! l absolutely love Joss Whedon shows  he is brilliant. I had trouble finding Tara's about page so I couldn't find anything about her other then what she writes about. I stumbled across one of her posts 'Buffy: The High School Years - Freaks & Geeks' Announced at #NYCC"  The post is about a graphic novel written by Faith Erin Hicks. Tara featured some of the illustrations of this graphic novel and that is what i chose to draw. The illustrations are by Yishan. You can read more about it by checking out Tara's blog.

I will be posting the final piece when it is finished. I have already started working on it. :)

Pat Perry

I stumbled across Pat Perry not that long ago.  He is an amazing illustrator that is extremely creative. His art is so unique and I just love the way he draws people.  Instead of drawing just a normal person he incorporates  buildings or places where their faces should be. His use of colors is also great. I could  look at his pieces for days. There is so much imagery in his paintings that you have to look at it for awhile to really take in everything. Even his sketchbook pages are so detailed, its ridiculous. It makes me want to step up on my sketches.
I unfortunately had trouble finding the names of his pieces.
