Unit 5 Timescale for Unit 6

Eyes

~30 hours per eye ~60 hours total, however the scale of the eyes and intricate detailing could add up to ~10 hours

Nose

~10 hours. Generally an easy stage of development however the detailed texture may add ~10 hours onto the process

Mouth

~10 hours. Detailing again may add up to ~5 hours

Hair

Depth of the hair will require anywhere from ~30 - ~50 hours of work, the lack of hyper dark tones produced from graphite means more time will have to be spent working into it

Skin

~20 hours. As this is new territory for me, I expect a lot of trial and error to take place regarding texture and tones of the skin. could take up to ~40 hours


Proposed Time

Min time: ~130 hours Max time: ~185 hours
A guesstimate would require the common sense to round up to 150 - 200 hours
This round up time of ~15 hours could be used to include planning, laying out and setting up of mediums


Mon 16th March - 23rd June = Final Major time
Given I average ~5 hours a day, max time would be 40 days
Time for Final Major is 99 days
Would have time to do ~5 hours every other day
Or could average around ~2 hours every day for 99 days



Potential problems
Unsuccessful process work, leading to hours of trial and error
Burnout, requiring more time to reset

Artist Research - Russell Mills, Nel ten Wolde and Ian Murphy

Russell Mills - Russell Mills  is a British artist who was born in Ripon, Yorkshire, UK in 1952. Mills has designed many book covers and album covers for bands such as Nine inch Nails. Most of Mills' works are  predominantly   distorted portraits, with very jagged and defined lines surrounding the soft the (usually) black and white, toned faces. In t he surrounding (jagged and distorted) area of the faces, Mills includes colour to add some life to his paintings and create the ever present distortions and abstract elements in his work.  The piece on the left 'Live at Last' is of a female face, beautifully drawn in ink  but  her hair and clothes are painted very erratically and show how Mills uses colour to produce a very different composition than if he had used ink  for all of the piece. The oil paint Mill uses is red which is painted over the thick black hair Nel ten Wolde- Wolde is a Melbourne based artist who uses collages, lines,...

Distortion

This was a project I started at the very beginning of Foundation. The visual quality doesn't match that of my current work, but it was a fairly long project, so I'm giving it a chance to shine. These are a series of photos taken throughout the development of this piece to show the progression and development of it. The photo is of my friend that I took. There is nothing special about the photo, it is a portrait photo, the angle isn't heavily distorted and the lighting is fairly standard. I wanted to get as much light on the face as I could all to add to the beauty and life to contrast the acrylic I would put over it, softness vs rigidity. When drawing a portrait, I always start on the eyes, finding the right shape and size and with this I can create a rough outline of where the other facial features should be. I start working on one eye to get the right tones and depth of the rest of the face and put in a rough nose and mouth (it's still just construction lines at this ...

Artist Research

Artist Research Arinze Stanley and Kelvin Okafor Kelvin Okafor The two main artists that have had the most impact on my work and techniques are Arinze Stanley and Kelvin Okafor. I look at Okafor for the techniques and processes he uses, how he handles his tools etc. I find his compositions differ too much from the reference photo to look at the final outcome of his drawings.    This photo taken from his instagram depicts perfectly what I mean. The final outcome looks too airbrushed and unlike the reference photo. To be more specific and critical; the iris is the wrong shape, certain parts of the lower and upper lids are too dark, the eyebrows are deformed and the detailing of the iris is all wrong. Despite all this, the processes Okafor uses throughout his compositions are extremely helpful.   A perfect example of this is pictured above. Okafor uses a paint brush to spread graphite across the composition, creating an extremely soft and realistic base tone for the skin tha...
