Beyond Graphite











{March 28, 2009}   5 minute works week 1

Okay so here’s six pieces for my 5 minute project. it’s kind of awkwardly set up, but I can’t figure out how to make the images go one below the other.
The second one actually ended up being 10 minutes so I started using this online stopwatch I found. it’s pretty awesome, and it kept the rest of the pieces on time.

1. For this one I used two photos from public-domain-photos.com
2. This one took 10 minuets :\, whoops! and yes, that’s Mr. Clean. :P
3. I’ve been learning to sing Sehnsucht – It’s a Brahms piece – so I used one of the lines from it for this. it translates into something like: “and my heart hurts.”
4. A little bit of fan art, with stock from Public-Domain-Photos
5. Text Art! releasing some anxiety.
6. trying out some boarder things.

{March 22, 2009}   5 Minute challenge.

so, here’s the plan.

every day (unless serious life intervenes) I will take 5 minuets(or less) out of my day. to put together some kind of artwork.

I’ll probably do mostly digital art, but I wont limit myself. If I want to I’ll use traditional mediums, or even put together a little installment (making art in 3d space.)

here’s my first piece

done in 5 minuits.

not the best looking piece, i know. I probably would have liked the fade around the man (me) to be smoother, you can kind of see where it cuts off. but I enjoy how the background turned out. I modified the hue and contrast to get it that way.

so as this goes on i hope to improve in my art abilities.
and I will post an update once or twice a week with the pieces I’ve done.

till then
-peace out.
