Random work i had taken photo's of that was on the computer hurtyn celf

[Rytiko]

The first two and the one with the fruit are spectacular, however I felt the others severely lacking. Perhaps you set too high of a standard for yourself, but I feel that they fail to live up to the others. They're not horrible, just not great or as good as the ones I mentioned.

[Megan]

The others are a couple years old and the ones you mentioned where done in January. So the reason for them being of a better quality possibly is because my style has changed, and also we have alot of drawing weeks which help to improve ones drawing skills.

Also the metal work is very good

I see.

And yes, the metal work is good. I was only speaking of the drawings/paintings.

[Megan]

yeah there alot pants apart from city scape which took ages to draw and then shade and blah blah blah

[Rytiko]

I'd imagine that it did, especially with it being so exacting. I do not have the patience to even draw it, let alone shade it. And that's where I fail as an artist - I am impatient. That, and my utter lack of ability to draw a semi-straight line.

...and with a variety of tools such as crayons, pencils, pencil-crayons and blood.

[Megan]

One question - Was the fruit done with charcoal and a kneaded eraser?

[Megan]

nope the fruit was done with a white pencil on black card

[Rytiko]

Ah, I just thought it looked a bit gritty like charcoal, which happens to be the only medium that I'm semi-capable of working with.

[Moose]

wow gee thats some nice stuff you got there. the city, fruit and metalwork are my favourites. i'd like to see more of your work

[Megan]

i like working with metals alot more its fun and fire and i will have more pics in the future i only have like a couple old projects left i am in the middle of doing my final major project and then i can make jewellery and shiny things forever

so heres a thing we had to make when the course began


hmm a fish themed candle holder why would you want a fish to hold candles


and then blacksmithed pendent


but when i have done my final major project i might have some nice work.


And and charcoal is cool to work with i just hate the noise it makes so i tend not to use it

[Duma]

Omg,I love how you love working with sculpture - because it's so much fun to look at.
1. For the quilt-looking piece, how did you make that? Is it enamel and metal?

2. Also, I agree with you on the pendant.

3. Loff the sculptures

Also,also - what course are you taking?

[Megan]

that one is heated up copper engraved and tiny metallic squares on a steel square to look like a mosiac it is meant to look like a peace symbol
this is a load of media experimentation done for this first ever project



and my course is 3D designs however its all nearly over now and then i go to university to do Jewellery design with silver and gold smithing

Megan, if you don't stop putting derogatory terms in your post I'm going to put "antonym word filters" on the forum. (No, seriously I'll do it!)
